Current/Near Future Books in Progress

Here are the books I am either currently reading or will soon read. Note that I plan to review all of them, and will likely post most if not all of those reviews here. The exceptions being the reviews that I am writing for a publication (and so I cannot really post them online) or some non-fiction reviews that aren’t really quite the right sort of thing for this blog. Those I place on LibraryThing but not here.

Fiction:

• Calling Doctor Kill! (The Enforcer #2) by Andrew Sugar [I won't be posting a review of this men's adventure novel because y thoughts on the book will be incorporated into an article I am currentl writing on The Enforcer series for the British magazine Men of Violence.]
• Steampunk Prime: A Vintage Steampunk Reader edited by Mike Ashley
• The Rapparee by Jack Vance
• Slaughterhouse World / Knack’ Attack by Ardath Mayhar and Robert Reginald

Non-fiction:

• The Kennedy Detail: JFK’s Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence by Gerald Blaine and Lisa McCubbin

What am I reading?

Here’s what I’m reading these days. Note that I always read multiple books simultaneously; can’t help myself. I’m not counting the several books I have going at any one time as I work on my dissertation. These are only the books I want to read, not the books I need to read:

• Book I read while eating (my wife is in Germany currently, so I read while eating my three meals a day): War and Decision by Douglas Feith [I am making my way through the massive stack of non-fiction works I have accumulated on Iraq and Afghanistan; note that I dislike Feith a great deal.]
• Book I read while riding my recumbent exercise bike (this has to be relatively mindless because, well, my legs are pumping as fast as I can comfortably pump them for a half-hour every day): Penetrator #16: Deepsea Shootout [I mainly read men's adventure novels while exercising; this one is turning out to be a pretty decent Penetrator.]
• Other books: TNT 4: The Devil’s Claw [I am re-reading this completely over-the-top series because I'm writing an article on it for Men of Violence zine and loving every minute of it.]
• Currently on hold: Necroscope 3: The Source [there's nothing wrong with the book, and in fact, I've read it before, but I just don't have a lot of time currently to resume reading the entire Necroscope series; I'll pick it back up when I'm done with the TNT books.]
