Last book I read in full was Jedi Apprentice #2. The Dark Rival.

Finished Asimov's "The Caves of Steel" this morning, up to a book about the Nazis looting Europe's gold and the Allied effort to recover it next.

Also recently finished a re-read of William Freehling's magnificent "The Road to Disunion".

Star Trek vs. Transformers

For the last non-comic book... Isaac Asimov's "Understanding Physics: Volume 2: Light, Magnetism and Electricity," finished up last year I'm afraid.

I quite enjoyed J Zachary Pike's "Orconomics", and it's sequel "Son of a Liche"; I found the style to be quite similar to Pratchett's and the plot almost seems like something Terry would have come up with :D

I'm currently reading the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Player's Guide. It's interesting to see how the game has changed and not changed since back in my youth in the 80's and 90's.

The first few chapters of 'The War of the Worlds' on my Kindle. I've been picking at it whenever my internet and/or power goes down.

The One Who Eats Monsters by Casey Matthews. It’s a gritty urban fantasy lesbian romance between Naomi, a republican senator’s daughter, and Ryn, essentially an elder god in human form. It's got cute romance, great action, and lovable characters. I heartily recommend it. It's free on kindle unlimited so you don't have much to lose but time.
