    The Black Company by Glen Cook. Dark fantasy epic told from the perspective of army grunts.

    <<<Mystery novel buff.

    I'm reading Search The Dark by Charles Todd, 3rd book in the Ian Rutledge series. Good stuff.

    "Charles Todd" is actually the pen name of a mother/son duo. The Ian Rutledge series reflects their interest in the human psyche when damaged. Even their protagonist suffers from a form of PTSD, and does his best to hide the fact that it has given his subconscious a troublesome voice, that of a soldier who died under his command.

    Mage's Blood, pretty good. Dark fantasy, similar to Game of Thrones, but less sex.

    I am rereading the Sword of Truth series currently.


    This will be my second time through it.



    Before that I finished up some neat Star Trek Mirror Universe compilation books, three or four stories per.

    I definitely dug them, I don't have them near me now so can't give the titles.


    And I am always reading Asimov and Piers Anthony. Always. I usually have a P. Anthony in my back pocket, in case of a long road trip for my work.

    The ingredients, and Nutritional value of the "Breakfast Bar" I got out of the vending machine at work.

    The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien, a really good read and a lot better than the films

      Clockwork Angels by Neil Peart at home. Various Literary Challenge posts along with Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh on breaks at work.

      Resurrection, Inc. By Kevin Anderson is next. I'd like to reread Federation by Judith Reeves-Stevens but I feel I should spend my time on something new. Meh.

      Re-reading (for the umpteenth time) Diane Carey's "Final Frontier". I SO would love to see this book made in to a movie! But only if it was done right. It's the story of the very first mission of the USS Enterprise (Constitution class). Before she even had a name or registry. Under the command of Robert April with a shanghaied George Kirk (Jim's father) as the First Officer on a mission of mercy. I truly believe it could resurrect the Trek movie franchise if it was given the proper treatment. :D
      *STO* It’s mission: To destroy strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... and then kill them, to boldly annihilate what no one has annihilated before!

      Agreed, whole heartedly. Though how the villain meets his fate might make moviegoers want to hurl their snack bar food. For not being a horror story, that was pretty gruesome. Seeing Robert April in something other than TAS would be great. His very different style of command is a nice contrast to the Kirks.

      Oh, and they'll have to choose a new name to distance themselves from the worst TOS film.

      various fanfics, especially this one Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover I found.

      Might dust off my Battletech books, especially the Twilight of the Clans novels I got. Wish they were easier to find though. Don't have the full set yet.

      Barry Hughart's The Story of the Stone, the sequel to Bridge of Birds. (If you don't know them: lyrical and comical fantasies set in a thoroughly unrealistic version of ancient China. Highly recommended, at least by me.)

        Currently reading William Shakespeare's Star Wars, yes someone turned the films into a play by the bard himself and it works quite well.

        After that it will be Embedded by Dan Abnett, I came across him when reading the WH40K books and really like his style of writing.

        After that I'm not sure what I'll be reading but I have a stack of Tom Clancy's to get through.

        Just finished rereading (for the first time in many months): "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein. Need to dig out "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "I Will Fear No Evil" next. Or, if I get lazy, I'll just grab "Time Enough for Love" and reread that, since I don't have to hunt for it.
