Version 5 of the Almighty Star Trek Lit-verse Reading Order Flowchart!

Just wanted to say that this is a hell of a thing, and you guys are steely-eyed missile men for putting it together.

Why is hard? Just because of the language barrier?

As always, a brilliant resource.

Why is what hard?

Sorry, that was in response to this post.

Awesome chart, it is somewhat hard to figure out when generally reading the German novels, but it is awesome anyway! Can't wait to get my hand on most of those books.

Very nice! I appreciate all the work that's gone into the chart. I think it's the best what to read chart I've seen.

Not because of the language barrier per se (as in understanding the chart) I would guess, but more because you have to know both the German and English title for each book, and even more importantly because not every book is available in German (yet).

Surprisingly no, I'm fully fluent in German, even going so far I sound like a Sachse and can read legal texts without all that much problems. It's only with novels that I read super slowly.

Edit: sorry though you meant why reading German novels is hard

I maybe should have specified more clearly when I sent them the link... oh well.

The more exposure for TrekLit the better, I hope.

Very nice!

Headlines always exaggerate, so no harm in this case
