I’m almost done a short story compilation called men and machines, one of the forwards has a very interesting remark that could be written yesterday. It’s from 1968.
I finally got in touch with my brother, and got my next batch of Star Wars books, it includes a large X-Wing series so looking forward towards it. Sounds like it’s Top Gun in space.

According to him, we would have at this point now made an intelligent being.
Heh, that does seem so relevant to today's world. We are still worried about the same things, but the problem with this kind of prediction is, one day we might actually be right 😀
I read so many of the 90s era Star Wars books so good. Really enjoyed Stackpole’s Rogue Squadron.
Nice, not sure if you’ve seen my other comments, but I’ve read in chronological order from the start. So I’ve done 90 or so legends books. They are obviously all over the place being different authors, but can’t say I hated any, some weren’t “enjoyable” as covered topics that weren’t particular interesting to me. But saying that, it’s interesting to see the different perspectives of how people write about their profession, like biology for example. Med-star was still interesting although dry as an example.
My brothers been ranting and raving waiting for me to get to it, it’s one of the ones he’s read himself.
That’s fun! I hadn’t remembered seeing your other posts.
I remember a lot of them fondly, and when I was updating my reading profile on a bunch of the tracking sites, it was fun remembering as many of the ones I had read that I could so that I could put them on there. There were a few that I had forgotten about reading until I was looking at a big list of them and they came right back.
In a single week what would be the style for multiple comments, respond to your own or make a new one?
Anyways. I finished the compilation and looked at my SW list a little closer I still have 5 stories to finish of the Era, the Rebellion, and after that is, the New Republic. There is a trilogy called “The Bounty Hunter Wars” to lead off the former with.
The XWing books make up the start of the New Republic era with Rouge Squadron being the lead.
Personally, I keep all the updates for next week's post, but nothing wrong with making another top level post, or if it's related to your previous post, replying to it.
For instance, if your first comment is you finished a book, and then want to make a new comment about what you are starting, you can just make a new top-level comment. On the other hand, if you second comment is an update on the book mentioned in the first comment, then just reply to your post.
Just my suggestions, there is no rule for this, so do as you like :-)
Totally fair. Maybe there was a semi established structure I’ve missed. I’ve gotten yelled at for posting too often in other places -.- where no one else posts.
Out of curiosity, how would you describe the Dresden Files or whatever it is, always looking for some newer stories as well to break stuff up.
