I'm so jealous of those of you who read so many more books than me. I'm way behind right now. I set out to read 12 Trek books this year, 12 Star Wars books, and 12 books of Catholic fiction or non-fiction.

Catholic fiction? This is my first time hearing of such a genre! What's it like? Priests who solve mysteries?

There are actually a series of novels about that exactly. I forget what the book series is called cuz I've never read any of them. Stuff I've read under which I put under this heading is mainly historical ficiton like the works of Luis deWohl. He writes epic novels about the saints and other historical events with a Catholic link like the Crusades or the attempted invasion of Europe by Attila the Hun. The only ones of his I've read so far are the story of the Roman who pierced Christ's side and story of Emporer Constantine and his mother St. Helena.

I just finished a novel about the early life of St. Paul. Before that I read Dimiter a thriller by Catholic novelist William Peter Blatty, writer of The Excorcist. I also put The Chronociles of Narnia in this category when I read those.

Mostly though, I read works of Catholic theology, apologetics, or church history.

Fable: The Balverine Order

This is why I like threads like these. I always see stuff I didn't know existed! I might have to check out the Fable books.

Was it any good?

Fable: The Balverine Order

This is why I like threads like these. I always see stuff I didn't know existed! I might have to check out the Fable books.

Was it any good?

It was pretty good, not spectacular, but still entertaining. And as a bonus it comes with a code to download a weapon for Fable III (which despite having since the week it was released I still haven't played yet).

I remembered a few more:

I also read most if not all of those old Gold Key-esque UK comics that were posted last year, as well as Larry Niven's "The Wristwatch Plantation" post-TMP Kzinti story.

 

[terpette]

I read a lot of non-Trek. I did get through the Destiny Trilogy, and the Crucible Trilogy, and the first three Vanguard books. I really want to catch up with the Titan line in 2011, finish off the Corps of Engineers stuff, and jump back on the Enterprise E relaunch stuff. Now that I'm no longer in night school (graduated in May) I have more time for reading.

Currently working on finishing "Open Secrets".
