Just read these two:

Alexander Outland: Space Pirate
G.J. Koch
Fun space adventure. Enjoyable. Quirky crew saves the world type of plot. Good beach reading.

Jane Carver of Waar
Nathan Long
Funny, especially if you are familiar with the old style adventure sci fi. Parody style like Redshirts. Some language and sexual situations, so I wouldn't call it all ages friendly.

Almost finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey  :love. That is a very eye-opening book. Should be interesting to see how the other two books read.

I read read quite a few graphic novels and a baseball bio. The baseball bio I read was Orel Hershiser - Out of the Blue. It was a pretty good book that came out back in 1989. The year afer the Dodgers beat the A's in the World Series.
I gave it a 7.
Here are the graphic novels.
Superman/Batman - Worship - 9.
Daredevil - Season One - 8.
X-Men - Season One - 7. I'll admit my least favorite of the Season One books.
Batman - Detective - 8. Just grabbed this one from the library shelf and ended up being pretty good.
Spiderman - Season One - 8.
Fantastic Four - Season One - 9. My favorite of the Season One books.
3 more Season One books are coming out. Hulk, Antman and Dr. Strange. Never been a fan of Dr. Strange so I may skip that one.
Reading Batman R.I.P. right now and have the new 52 graphic novels of Catwoman: Vol. 1 The Game and Batman: Vol. 1 the court of Owls.

i'm starting to read cosmos by carl sagan. i'm only on the 3rd chapter or so, but it's awesome so far.
also rereading imzadi by peter david.

Reading the Shat's last book Shatner Rules. It's kind of a book about Shatner's philosophy of life with hilarious anecdotal stories. One of his better books but don't pay full price for a copy. I found one on Amazon for only $1.98 plus $2.99 shipping. Well worth that for sure!

"Oh...Well, Who am I to argue with me?" Dr. Bashir - Visionary - Deep Space Nine

Reading 'Echoes Of All Our Conversations' vol.4 signed by Mira Furlan and waiting vol.5 to arrive signed by Jerry Doyle.

This six volume set of limited editions are the only luxury I'm allowing myself this year.
- to a B5 fan - totally worth it.

Read Batman R.I.P. already and it was decent. Also read Justice League: Rise and Fall.
Batman - R.I.P. - 7. The R.I.P. part was pretty good but the last two chapters were not very good.
Justice League: Rise and Fall - 10. Very good book when Green Arrow crosses the line when his city has a major attack.
Going to a huge book store tomorrow to search out some new treasures. The place is called The Book Loft and it has 32 rooms stacked with books. New and discounted. I don't think they sell used books. Can't wait and I'll be spending most of my time in room #10. Fantasy/Science Fiction!

Plans fell though and didn't make it to the Book Loft store. We did go to a Half Priced Books though and they seemed to not have much of the things I was looking for. Mostly Star Trek and Star Wars. The wife found more than I did and that hardly ever happens when we go to a place like that. Did pick up A Star Trek called "Troublesome Minds" and 3 Star Wars "Choices of One" in hardcover which looks really good and 2 X-Wing novels. And I found a Gene Roddenberry Bio comic for a buck so I thought why not. I also went to a comic shop I had been to only once before and picked up a Star Wars issue I was missing from a 4 parter and a 2 parter called "Indiana Jones and the Golden Fleece" from 1994. And last but not least I got the 2 part Amazing Spiderman comic series based on the movie. It leads up to the bridge scene and does cover some of the movie up to that point. I didn't take a pick but the covers on these is really cool. Have any of you other Spiderman fans picked these up? My local shop didn't have these issues.

Re-reading the "Knightfall" series after seeing Dark Knight Rises.  Fun stuff!

Yeah, that was a cool series. It's cool how Dick Grayson is always the go-to guy while Bruce is out of commision, until Azrael anyway.

I'm reading an older TNG Novel called "Deny Thy Father" with Young Riker and Kyle Riker. It's pretty interesting so far.

I'm going to try and get this series from the library some time. It does look interesting.

It's a bit dated but fun.  Now I'm reading the Walking Dead novel, Rise of the Governor, in advance of the season three premiere which will feature that character.

I have recently read some really good graphic novels. Here is the list.
Green Lantern - Emerald Warriors - 9. Very good one featuring Guy Gardner. Set in the Brightest Day storyline.
Spiderman/Human Torch - I'm With Stupid - 9. This was an all ages one.
Batman - The Black Glove - 6. This takes place before Batman R.I.P.
Catwoman Vol. 1 - The Game - 8. The first of The New 52 graphic novels I have read.
Spiderman Vol. 9 - Skin Deep - 9. Great story with a surprising ending.
Spiderman Vol. 10 - New Avengers - 9. Another good one with going into 'The Other' storyline.

Batman: Earth One. Been waiting a while for this, it's pretty good, a new take on Batman, in the same universe as the Superman Earth One released last year.
