"WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S STAR WARS TRILOGY - ("Verily, a New Hope," "The Empire Striketh Back" and ""The Jedi Doth Return")
As I mentioned above, I'm "reading toward a specific goal," but this isn't it. There was time when I intended to read all nine…"

"Laura Jean McKay's award-winning The Animals in that Country (2020) won't be for everyone, but I really liked it. A pandemic sweeps the world; we see it from the perspective of an emotionally-damaged Australian woman who works at an animal…"
"The Future of a Different Timeline – Annalee Newitz
Interesting, uneven, but very readable: Newitz has penned a feminist take on The Legion of Time, with two different cabals using time travel to set different visions of the future in place. The…"

"I read a fair bit but almost never post in this thread. In the last few months (and excluding obscure writing-related research), I have read the following:

"RETURN OF THE JEDI:
Above I speculated that I had read The Empire Strikes Back three times. That's not correct; it's four. I realized that when I found some notes I took in the early 2Ks between the pages of Jedi, and I wouldn't have re-read Jedi…"

"In the summer of 1980, I took my mother for our third visit to our family in England. The Empire Strikes Back had only recently been released there. It was the middle of the day, so there were no lines. I had arrived just as it was scheduled to be…"
"THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK:
I didn't really intend to read The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi this time around (I'm reading toward a particular goal), but they're quick reads so why not? The first thing I noticed was the credits: "Donald F.…"

"THE JEDI PATH: I remember seeing this one on the shelf and flipping through it when it was originally released in 2021 (there's a "Sith" one, too), but I didn't remember why I didn't buy it at the time, so I ordered it and I think I remember why.…"
"SPLINTER OF THE MIND'S EYE: This is my third time through "Splinter." It was the first Star Wars spin-off novel. It was written by Alan Dean Foster, whose name I was already familiar with in 1978 from the Star Trek Log series. He had adapted the…"
"STAR WARS (a.k.a. "A NEW HOPE") by George Lucas Alan Dean Foster: This is actually the book I was reaching for when I pulled Skywalker: A Family of War off the shelf. This is the fourth time I have read it. the first was in 1977; second, in the…"
"SKYWALKER: A FAMILY AT WAR: I was in the mood to read something "Star Wars," so I went to my bookshelf and discovered a book I forgot I owned, Skywalker: A Family at War by Kristin Baver. I guess I must've bought it in 2021 and set it aside, knowing…"
"I just started Well Met: Renaissance Faires and the American Counterculture by Rachel Lee Rubin, which traces the Ren Faire from its surprisingly 60s counterculture roots to its current form and cultural impact.
And, since I'm co-editing an…"

"A very good use of his celebrity, I do not dispute. It does not change the fact that I found this particular book a slog. A reminder of the importance of giving blood is, of course, always welcome.

"THE MANDALORIAN OF NEVARRO: From 2013 through 2020, Ian Doescher adapted all nine Star Wars movies as faux-Shakespeare plays. Now he's back with the first season of The Mandalorian TV series, eight episodes in five acts. I probably won't read this…"
