are there any star trek book readers on this site?
Any one read pathways the voyager book?

I love the books. I think books are better than movies anyway. Pathways was a great book. I bought the paperback, and then found out exactly how much was cut, so I also got the hardcover. I have almost all of the TOS books, same w/ Voyager, and about 10 each of DS9 and TNG.

I am not into TOS but I have at least half of the tng ds9 and voyager books including mosaic and pathways hardcovers

TOS was my favorite until Voyager came out. I have about 20 or so hardcovers. I haven't checked the paperbacks lately, just bought 3 more tonight.

The books written by William Shatner were great. He, and his co-authors incorporated all of the series, it was cool.

Wow you like to read i don't i just watch the shows but i do have a few of the books

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:07 pm**

I have about 12or13 of the books my fav is mosaic

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:07 pm**

I think I like the books better because you know what the characters are thinking and why they do what they do.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:21 pm**

that is true but if you watch alot of star trek and u get to know a character then you can guess what they r thinking and if you watch a movie then read the book you can picture what he writes and compare it to the movie

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:23 pm**

I like the books better for that and because they give more detell and

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:25 pm**

Janeway9,there was no doubt in my mind that you would like Mosaic.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:26 pm**

it is the best if you watch the movie or show then read the book

What books would you peeps recommend? I'll pick some up to read next.

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:30 pm**

I agree that it is not a good idea to read the book before you watch the show, because I think that the books are usually better than the movie, and it kind of ruins it for you. Generally they have to get the movie done in about an hour or so, and you can spend hours reading the books, where they can flesh out the characters, make them more than 2 dimensional people.

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:31 pm**

well I would say mosaic and pathways and the darkmatters #1&2&3

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:34 pm**

a really good book which isn't connected to anything is called Star Trek Preserver and it is written by William Shatner you should read it it's really good

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:35 pm**

I have the Dark Matters books, but haven't read them yet. They are good?

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:37 pm**

i didn't read those

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:39 pm**

I have them all 3 and have read 2 but so far they have been good

Morphy · Forum Ogre Joined: 15 Jun 2001 Posts: 3858

Alright... I'll pick up some of those books tomorrow.

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:48 pm**

What do you think, Morphy, which is better, books or movies?

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 12:48 pm**

yeah which one

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 1:10 pm**

they r both good

Dkmcb · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 4:52 pm**

I like to read the books also. I have also found that "Mosaic" read by Kate Mulgrew on audiotape makes the time on the treadmill fly by.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 4:53 pm**

you guys r all talking about that book where can u find it

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 4:56 pm**

It may be kind of hard to find Mosiac now, unless you have a big bookstore near you. It came out in 1996. I am sure that they have it on amazon.
