"An interesting take on first contact, which I enjoyed."
"Multitude, an alien contact novel by Marie Vibbert. So far, so good."
"I recently finished reading Inanna, Lady of Largest Heart: Poems of the Sumerian High Priestess Enheduanna, edited by Betty De Shong Meador. Enheduanna lived in Mesopotamia (roughly equivalent to present-day Iraq) around 2300 BCE, making her one of…"
"I currently find myself stalled in the middle of four books (not including What's the Matter with Batman?). Back in the 20th century, I would usually break up such a logjam by reading a Star Trek book to "prime the pump" as it were, but in the 21st…"
"I finished an absurdist comic crime novel, Property Values, by Charles Demers. Plot was good and the writing was often very funny; the characters were underdeveloped.
I am slowly making my way (one story at a time) through a collection called…"

"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH BATMAN?:
The second season of Caped Crusader inspired me to re-read What's the Matter With Batman?: An Unauthorized Look Under the Mask of the Caped Crusader by Robin S. Rosenberg (particularly the episodes in which Batman…"

"One more thing about "Conan" before I forget (again). One criticism I have encountered concerning the comic books is that Conan is to verbose in comparison to the novels. I don't think that's necessarily true, but it occurs to me that I wish someone…"
"STAR TREK LOG SIX - "Albatross"
Inspired by several gimmicky episodes of SNW in a row, I decided to read some real Trek in an attempt to scrub them from my mind. While I am here, I will probably read the other stories in the volume before returning…"

"Although I did not read any original REH stories until 1982, between the Marvel comic book and the ever-present paperbacks on drugstore bookracks, I have been aware of Conan the Barbarian for nearly as long as I can remember. I probably didn't…"
"Very true.

"I've read three more "Conan" stories (in bold below). Sticking with the Cimmerian's early career, I moved on to Howard's last three Conan stories, all published posthumously. I cannot really dscern a difference in style, but he wrote Conan stories…"
"Earlier this year I started a re-read of the Howard Conan stories. This time around I was reading them in chronological order of Conans life. I read up to Red Nails then stalled. At some point I will pick it up again.
Right now I am reading a bio…"

"I've taken a short (I hope) break from Star Wars to read some REH Conan. I've taken a stab at this two or three times in my life, but never made it all the way through. This time I'm starting with the three earliest stories in Conan's timeline that…"
"I'm going to start this one soon. I finally finished all of the High Republic novels (it actually sticks the landing!) and also completed the very entertaining "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" by Becky Chambers (sort of a cozy Firefly).

"Did someone mention...Star Wars?"
"It's good to have you back, Bill. The back-and-forth conversation hasn't been as spirited and lively as it has been this afternoon in far too long of a time."
