How Many Books Have You Read So far In 2009 ?

[Ed Anger]

The series diverges at New Caprica, which in this continuum is the planet where Clan Wolverine/"The Minnesota Tribe" ended up - as I said, it's a neat way to link the two universes. The year is 3045, which fits reasonably well with the known timeline of Kobol from the series (we know it was inhabited for at least 4000 years IIRC but not much else - the Colonials are speaking a recognisable form of Mycenaean Greek.)

As for a synopsis, don't be lazy! Besides, it is nowhere near finished yet.

I am especially looking forward to the moment when Romo Lampkin has William Adama on the witness stand at Gina's trial telling the world that "yes, we did violate the Armistice Line, and yes, we may have triggered the war by breaching said Armistice." 

Although the discovery of the Final Five may have thrown that cherished expected moment of mine into the
crapper now...I am really looking forward to seeing where the author is going with this.

The Cylon detection system that discovered the final five uses neurohelmets. A Cylon should be capable of interfacing with them better than a human, which will show up. One needs to do a CT scan as well though, as a few brain damaged humans come up with the same result giving a "false positive".

Kara gave a false positive...which Tigh thought was very funny until he was tested.

I dunno.  Not counting law books, like six or ten.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

All of them.

Raz Wins.

[Ape]

Yes.

Battlestar Galactica and Clan Wolverine, with a good way of linking the two continua. Reasonable writing and the occasional flash of genuine wit. Almost as good as fan-fiction gets.

Yup, I've read it 

[Warspite]

I finished reading the Internet last night. Every web page. Does that count?

No.

[Caliga]

Zero.  I've been reading "River of Doubt" (about Teddy Roosevelt's Amazon expedition) on and off since January. 

I go through phases where I read voraciously, and then phases where I don't read at all.  I'm an 'off' phase.

In case anyone is interested I can really recommend the Armageddonhttp://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=118771 a well Judeo-christian fanfic, story is what would happen if Hell tried to invade earth today. Starting point about a year ago.

More than 11, but probably less than 25.

There's no way I'm reading that much drek.  BattleTech novels are bad enough.  Fanfiction is worse.  Crossover fanfiction though...

Indeed.  Extra-lame.  On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that any BSG fanfic could possibly be as stupid as the source material turned out.

good question. I read tonnes online, but didn't have access to my books for several months this year. And I am not travelling as much (planes and busses are great for reading) . So I am behind my usual pace of 1 book/week.

Voted 6-10. I think I remember them all. It included two books on the crusades, one book on the tarsands, another book on world food, a Joe Strummer bio, and ...?

I actually do not think I have read any fiction this year. So now I have two novels on the go, including one I stopped reading halfway last fall.

Sounds like me.  I am well on my way to not finishing a single book this year, for the first time that I can ever remember.  I have started a few book that I probably won't finish and have listened to a couple of audio books but not much reading for me this year.
