What book are you reading right now?

Recommended Posts

Uncle Du

Currently reading Prometheus, the second book in the Halo Forerunner trilogy. 

And before that I finished The Enemy, a Jack Reacher book, and before that Revan. I was super pissed about the way Revan ended.

Star Wars - Last Shot by Daniel José Older

Han and Lando, past and present (sort of - it's three years after ROTJ by my reckoning).

I need to get this one into the correct place on the timeline!

Well, there are three time periods in it! (So far).

But the main seems to be the 'present' one. It's two years after Jakku ('cause Ben is 2)... which would be 3 years post-ROTJ.

It also features a 'about 10 years ago' story with Han and Chewie and a 'about 15 years ago' story with Lando, that sort of give background for the main story.

 

The "about" is the thing giving me fits... because I thought the Solo film was ten years prior to ANH.

So the Han/Chewie story would be about three years pre-ANH. Making the Lando story about eight years pre-ANH... and in this one he still has the Falcon. So the film must be be closer than ten years to ANH.  Because ANH-ESB is three years, and ESB-ROTJ is a year at the most, I believe. So the main story of Last Shot would be about 7 years after ANH.

Math hurts. :p

There was also another one, that was '20 years ago' (to the present time of the book), but that was just background on the bad guy. :p

 

A quick read, but I'm working through the Star Wars comic,  Poe Dameron: Legend Found.  I think it's volume 4.

I feel like I'm not reading as much as I used to either. Been taking me longer to finish books than in the past.

I blame work and my phone. :p

Star Wars - Age of Republic: Villains

Decent comic so far. I enjoy the little "news articles" at the end of each issue/character.

I'm contemplating re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire... But I know it will just annoy me when I get the end and Winds of Winter still isn't out. :P

Haha I don't know!

 

Anyways, followed up the Republic: Villains comic, with Star Wars - Republic: Heroes and  Han Solo: Imperial Cadet.

But I'm back to the (non-SW) books with Black Notice by Patricia Cornwell.

I'm debating between ol' school Robert E. Howard Conan stories or some 80's Star Wars comics.

I just got the big ol' giant coffee table-sized (only slight exaggeration) The Star Wars Archives, by Paul Duncan.

I mean, this thing is HUGE. (I weighed it; it's over 14 pounds).

Well, actually the library got it for me, so it was free. (But I may end up getting myself a copy later anyway... hopefully for less than the $120-140 it's retailing at ugh).

 

Also reading through Bullseye by James Patterson.

At the moment, nothing.

But I just binged four Star Wars comics:  Star Wars vol 12, Doctor Aphra vol 6, and both of the Age of Resistance - Villains & Heroes. 

Plus a few more of the novels, before that.
