What are you reading now?
« on: June 10, 2008, 06:27:40 AM »
I just finished up True Colors of the Republic Commando Series. I also recently finished the SOTE book and loved that one too. I also have a few other science fiction books I have been ardently trying to hold off reading as I will be going to the beach in a few weeks and want to use em there! I have a nasty habit of reading a good book in a few hours no longer than a day if I like it.

I'm reading the 7th and final book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
The Dark Tower     It seems a little thick headed at best and at this point he seems a little off of the track that he started with the first book THE Gunslinger, in the series, that was published more than 20 years ago.

I just finished the book before Invincible and now I am waiting for that on Library Loan. I guess the final Republic Commando book is due out in a few months too. I really liked that series. Anyone notice the appearances by Venku and Jusik in the book I just mentioned? I don't like the fact that it seems they didn't figure out the clone ageing thing.  I gotta have a book with a semi happy ending even if it is Star Wars.

This morning picked up Rogue Squadron Books 1 to 3, and Jedi Search, all for 3.21 so not a bad little morning.

cool deal Michael. I got the go ahead to buy Invincible today so I will see how that ends up and see if I have to start referring to our Darth Caedus in the past tense. 

Currently, I am reading a book authored by Mike Brotherton called Spider Star. It is a little too much science and not enough fiction for me, but it is starting to get a little action in it now so I will keep reading.

Well the book I have been reading is Flawed Giant, its about LBJ, kind of boring stuff for most people, but I like reading on historical figures.

Well, I picked up the Watchmen graphic novel in preparation for the theatrical release. It's pretty interesting so far and I am somewhat rivited.

I scored some more books Thursday, I love our local second hand book shop, I got the rest of the X-Wing Books 4 to 7, and Champion of the Force, they have others which I am going to have a look at this Thursday providing no one has picked these up.

A good second hand book store is almost as good as a fully refreshed and restocked SW aisle! Almost.

Finished up The Force Unleashed Novel a couple of weeks ago, and now my new Rebellion, KOTOR, and TFU comics and TPB are on their way  ;D

Star Wars is not about the characters or plot...its about people settling their differences with ungodly amounts of hate and violence.

I keep falling in and out of the comics.  I was all over Jedi and Republic, was into Legacy, and started in on The Dark Times, but after awhile, I just get tired of waiting for them to come out.  There are some great characters in all of those though, and some good story lines as well!
