Supersized BSG!

Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...

I've created a series of BSG-themed Cubees -- a paper art form that requires no glue or tape to assemble.

You can check out my GalactiCubees (and other BSG-related fanart) at my deviantART page.

The candidate of choice for discerning BSG fans and voters! Actually, I've been musing lately about what would happen if people were to write-in Laura Roslin as their presidential candidate. Can't you just imagine the press coverage if a fictional character garnered a significant portion of the vote from real candidates?

Kushiel's Legacy
Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series is among my favorite of all time. A brilliantly written, sweeping adventure told in two trilogies that meld the worlds of power, politics and religion in a story that is, ultimately, about love, in all its carnations - from the brotherly to the familial to the carnal to the divine.

Not for everyone, but it holds a place at the top of my "will-read-again" list -- especially the first three books.

Dune Chronicles
Frank Herbert (1920-1986) arguably wrote the definitive science fiction series with his Dune Chronicles. They are a masterpiece of imagination and ones I re-read at least once every year or so.

   
     

There has also been a series of Dune prequels written by Herbert's son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson, and while decent enough books, they don't hold a candle to the originals. Frank Herbert's voice is too distinct and is sorely missed in those books and the final (Dune 7) of the original book series, which was written from Frank's notes and published in two volumes - Hunters of Dune & Sandworms of Dune.

Hunters of Dune
Sandworms of Dune
Dune: House Atredies
Dune: House Harkonnen

Tairen Soul Series
Despite what you might think, I'm not a huge fan of fantasy books -- most are pedestrian at best with the obvious standouts like The Lord of the Rings -- but this series is one that took me by surprise. I actually decided to try it because something about the cover art just made it look so damned intriguing, on top of the cover notes. Needless to say, since it's here, I am loving it. Don't be surprised, but you will usually find this series in the romance section of the bookstore because it has a heavy element of that, but the world C.L. Wilson creates is amazingly vivid and wonderfully magical.
