    Finished reading "Princep's Fury" by Jim Butcher and am currently reading "First Lord's Fury". Have to say that I´ve really enjoyed The Codex Alera series and it's almost a shame to be finishing it.

      Rereading a couple of old Star Trek novels, starting with "The Captain's Daughter" by Peter David.

      Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
      To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

      Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
      And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

        Finished reading "First Lord's Fury", great series and I hope he does a follow up on it.

        Next up is "Inverted World" by Christopher Priest. Bought it because it was in the S.F. Masterworks series, had never even heard of the author before.

          I'm about to start reading The JAG in Space series by Jack Campbell.
          Does anyone have any thoughts on this series of books?

            They're great.

            There's an NCIS agent in one of them who's obviously a close literary cousin to one Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

              finished Blood Meridian, which isn't Sci-Fi, but it's fantastic anyway. Cormac really makes you think.

              tonight i'm starting Ready Player One, which I bet a good chunk of you here would love. Video game/sci-fi nerds that we all are.

                Finished reading "Inverted World" by Christopher Priest. Good book, though like many older sci-fi books its good because of the interesting world building and not because of the characters.

                Next up is "Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier: Invincible" by Jack Campbell.

                  Next on my to read list is "The Ninth Circle" by R.M. Meluch.

                  Fifth book in the "Tour of the Merrimack" series, which I may have mentioned before.

                    OH MY GOD

                    everyone who is a child of the 80's, or was a teen in the 80's, drop whatever book you're reading RIGHT NOW and go read Ready Player One.

                    No time to explain.

                    Just, trust me.

                                I am now reading an anthology of tales set during The Horus Heresy called Shadows of Treachery. It is book 22 in the series.

                                How many books will be in the series has yet to be finalised. I expect there to at least 40.
