I am currently reading the original radio scripts for "The Hitch-Hikers' Guide To The Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. This is the original format for The Guide, predating even the books which are considered to be the "official" versions of the story.

Working on the fifth book of the series, "The Last Dragon Chronicles" called , "Dark Fire"...  I'm a little over 300 pages in after two days.  It's been about three years since I picked up book four, but the author is doing a great job of bringing everything back into context for such an instance.

Finished Eona, the sequel to Eon, by Allison Goodman last night; it was one of those compelling reads that I just couldn't put down.  It started out fairly weak, because it didn't have that connection most sequels have to bring you up to speed.  (Three years since the last one was published).  As the plot evolved, and the characters did, one of the portagonists "changed", evolving from the sinister antagonist we had known him as in the last book.  EVERYTHING changes in this book, so you HAVE to read the first one to get this!!!  I was a bit dissapointed with the ending, i.e. who the main character chose in the end, and what all transpired, as well as the lack of closure to the book.  (I think I was mainly dissapointed, because *SPOILER* the author leads you to think Lord Ido is a changed man, and when he confesses he's not, it's weak, with little factual support behind it...  I know I would've wrote the book differently, at least keeping him alive.)  Overall, though, life-changing, no pun intended.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!

Well I just finished up Karen Traviss' new Halo book and must admit I was a bit deflated. There was a bit too much politics in this one and not enough action. I was starting to have TCW Senate Episode flashbacks.

I am now into another John Ringo Series called There will be Dragons. It is not nocking my socks off so far.

I am starting to take some time lately to just read and I have read:

The Morningstar Zombie Series (really liked these two books)

The John Ringo Council War Series (hope he adds to this)

The Hunger Games Trilogy (really awesome, but I hated the ending which could just be me)

Micro (last Michael Chriton Book before he died) which was great

and now I am onto a new Terry Brooks books about combatting an evil place called the Bourne and the Quiet which so far seems to be holding my interest and seems to be a very long read (small print) and I keep meaning to get the Lost Tribe of the Sith Books (free on kindle, but no printed versions!) so I might break down and get a kindle. It also seems to be the way the SW books are going. I am not sure I like all Eprint as the paper page is so preferred to me right now.

I would love to hear what good books other folks of similar interests have read lately.

Just finished "Darth Plagueis"

Elias and I are in the middle of "Shadows of the Empire" and either #7 or #8 of the Dark Horse Clone Wars comic collection books.  I think they're called Republic or something like that.  I know the one we're reading has Quinlan Vos on the cover.  Just not sure what number it is.   We already finished all the prior editions and #9 will wrap it up.

I just reread Shadows of the Empire myself after Wookie Balls' last Guri addition. That is a great novel. Indeed it does leave a few unfinished character ends for me though.

Just finished Darth Plagueis, I enjoyed the book but thought the ending was kind of had a rushed feeling. I just started World War Z and am enjoying it thus far.

World War Z is awesome. If you like it you should read some of J.L. Bourne's books.
