Started Stephen King's 11/22/63 last night, also reading Star Trek Titan: Taking Wing.
Almost finished with Timothy Zahn's "A Choice of One" all this talk about the Star Wars books on here lately put me in the mood lol.
Still ahead:
Mission Gamma #1-4
Buffy "A Portal Through Time"
Richard/Kahlen "Soul of the Fire"
Next up in the New Frontier No Limits is Selar's run in with Q which I look forward to, Q is awesome.

This is next on my list as well.....just have to finish Feast of Crows which I've had a hard time finding enough time to read lately.
Soon though.........3 day weekend coming up!
I'm pretty absorbed in my book right now. It's getting stellar reviews so far and I can see why. I wish I didn't have anything to do today!
I can't wait to get home and get back to reading it. I only just started last night, read the prologue and first chapter, and already loving it. King is such a master storyteller.
I'm still reading Star Trek DTI Watching the Clock. I also read a chapter of Star Trek: The Next Generation #50. The titles in this book have titles, odd for a numbered TNG book. This one came out in 1999, at which time i was a sophomore in high school and not into Trek anymore after being burned out and o'd like the rest of the country. (1999). So this one is new to me too. Oh by the way number sixty is called Dyson Sphere. Pellegrino and Zebrowski are the authors. DTI is by that fellow named Christopher as im sure you know. But been very absorbed in music lately listening to Them Crooked Vultures (self-titled) 2009, Pearl Jam Backspacer (2009), Social Distortion's Hard Times and Nursey Rhymes (2010) Jane's Addiction The Great Escape Artist (2011), and R.E.M.'s final release Collapse into Now (2011.) And of course listening to 2 of our 4 alternative radio stations here WWMX- Hd2 HFS on 97.5 FM Baltimore, and 103.1 WRNR FM Annapolis.
So still enjoying DTI very much, I see that Frasiers crew is a little different here than in D. Careys Ship of the Line, but thats cool. They were a bunch of drunks, and Geroge the squid has seemingly also been erased from the time line
....and can't say much about the Dyson Sphere yet cept, that its a seventh season novel, and its nice to see a follow up, and holy shotgun saturday night! I seem to have really misunderstood the SIZE of this sphere on the TNG TV show. Its actually quite big. So I will post more reviews on these books, and probably not talk much about the alternative records at all sometime in the future on this here blue BBS. Happy Wednesday night owls!

But its ok because now Enterpise is a ship with 2 captains. How neat is that! I cant wait til LaForge in Picard become cross with one another and LaForge can actually say no. Plus now he gets a bigger hotel room on the ship, his own personal little spaceship like Picard had in TNG movie #3. Plus 4 dots on his uniform while wearing a yellow shirt!
Thats SO gnarley! Now him a Scotty wear the same outfits, maybe even the same sizes since we did see Geordi become more rotund as time went on in! Sorry I just think its so cool that there are 2 captains on Enterprise. How much longer is this after the present day Typhon Pact Stuff? Is that over with> I read the Bashir book, and the Sisko book, but the others i cant find in the stores anymore....this whole Typhon pact thing is confusing to me anyway...
I don't think it works that way. Rank grade is one thing, position in the chain of command is another. The commanding officer of the ship has authority over the rest of the crew even if they're equals in rank -- like how when Scotty had the conn in TOS, he could give orders to McCoy, a fellow lieutenant commander. Also, there's the matter of seniority. Picard's been a captain literally fifty years longer than Geordi, 2333-2383. Heck, he's been a captain two years longer than Geordi's been alive. So he's got a ton of seniority.
Currently I'm working my way through Spock's World. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it.
Finished David Stern's The Children of Kings (review here). Now I'm reading book two of the Rihannsu saga, The Romulan Way by Diane Duane and Peter Morwood.
Please watch the spoilers! There are several of us in this thread who are still catching up on the current continuity. Just be considerate & avoid announcing big events and/or plot points without coding them - or at least giving a heads-up.
I just finished the audio book of The Prestige. I kinda wish I hadn't seen the movie first, so I would've had to figure out the secrets on my own. The book's ending was much more chilling than that of the movie, but I think the movie was better overall. The necessity of scaling back the novel's complexity to make it work on screen ended up tightening the story into a more decisive narrative.

A lot of MR James ghost stories...
One of two instances (the other being Contact) where I think the simplification of the plot and added character development actually made the movie better than the book.
Lots of rumours but nothing concrete -ISTR he wants to make Mr Hughes (a biography of Howard Hughes' later life) in 2014, as that would be 10 years after The Aviator, and long enough for that film to be no longer a rival (it doesn't seem to occur to him that Mr Hughes would actually work effectively as a much needed sequel!) but that's still a couple of years off, so he could do something else first...
After a period of starting a few books I've read before and not really getting into them (Destiny: Gods of Night for example) or books I've not read before (The World According to Clarkson volume four) I've started Open Secrets and although not as good as Reap the Whirlwind yet, it is rather good, but like all Dayton's books I've read and as Thrawn pointed out months ago, I expect it to improve as the story progresses. One highlight so far was the game that Carol wasn't sure was that David and the other children were playing was:
Ultimate Frisbee, a game I've become aware of over the last year or so as my other halves brothers and sister-in-laws play it competitively
