What are you reading?

[May 20]

Oh, yes, I'm a Percy Jackson fan. I enjoyed the Apollo series, too.

Over the weekend I finished reading The Amazing Spider-Man: The Gauntlet The Complete Collection Vol. 1, and start the Dresden Files novel Ghost Story by Jim Butcher.

Oh, yes, I'm a Percy Jackson fan. I enjoyed the Apollo series, too.

Percy Jackson ended up being really good! I have to admit I thought it was just a Harry Potter knockoff at first, but it didn't take long while reading the first book for me to find it to be an original, enjoyable tale of its own.

Anyway, I've just started reading "Parable of the Sower," by Octavia Butler. It's a science fiction story, and I'm not sure what it's about yet, but it was recommended to me, and I'm all for new sci-fi. ♥

I bought the ebook version of that one when it was on sale a while back, but I haven't gotten around to reading it.

Yesterday I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I liked it even more than The Martian.

Currently reading a biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Last week I read an biography of John Wyndham.

I am also working my way through the Realm of the Elderlings series by Robin Hobb. I am currently onto The Fool’s Errand.

I have recently starting reading the short stories of Charles Beaumont. Beaumont wrote about 20 of the episodes of The Twilight Zone. He was a good friend of Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson but at the age of 34 Beaumont developed early onset Alzheimer’s which soon ended his writing career, he died aged 38.

I'm working my way through the Configured trilogy. I'm almost finished with book 3, Actualized. It's not bad for a YA dystopian future story. Parts of it are creepily prescient.

I finished up Ghost Story (The Dresden Files Book 14) last night, and I started The Avengers Assemble/Captain Marvel crossover comic miniseries The Enemy Within earlier this morning.

Rereading The Winds of War. That and its sequel, War and Remembrance are two of the best semi-fictionalized descriptions of World War Two. I always recommend them to people who want to find out more about the war but find history books "too dry" and the subject matter "too big" to get their heads around.

 

[May 20]

I finished the Configured trilogy and started a chick story - I Thought You Said This Would Work.

Been reading 'salem's Lot by Stephen King the last week or so. Took a bit to get into it, but now its going at a pretty good clip.

 

[JD]

Last night I started Star Trek: The Lost Era 2360: Catalyst of Sorrows by Margaret Wander Bonnano. I decided this was going to be my next Trek read back when Ms. Bonnano died last month.

This book I have all about birds. I am trying to learn about the birds in my yard and ones I see around.

Read Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations & Observations by Craig Ferguson in a couple of days.

Started reading Star Trek: Legacies, Book One - Captain to Captain by @Greg Cox , the first book of an original series trilogy written for the fiftieth anniversary of the franchise.

 

[May 20]

Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

 

[Miss Chicken]

My current audiobook is ‘Paranesi’ by Susanna Clarke, narrated by Chiwetel Ejiofor. I am really enjoying it.

My Kindle read is ‘Death by Shakespeare’ by Kathryn Harkup. It looks at both the deaths in Shakespeare’s play and actual deaths in Shakespeare’s era.

Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents

Between Butler's books, I read Margaret Atwood's The Testaments. I seem to be on a dystopian kick at the moment.

 

[JD]

I just finished up Star Trek: The Lost Era: Catalyst of Sorrow by Margaret Wander Bonnano, and now I'm working on the Power of The Dark Crystal comic series. I'm up to #3 of 12.

 

[JesterFace]

I think I've written this here before.... but when I read the topic title I want to post "I'm reading this forum".
Oh Jester, how funny can you get.

I finished The Power of The Dark Crystal this morning, and started the individual digital issues of Hellboy: Seed of Destruction.
