everyone talking about the movie has got me thinking about star trek (obviously). i started re-reading the wounded sky last night and am thinking about ishmael and other books. i'm wondering if there's a comm for star trek novels on lj (or dreamwidth). if there isn't would anyone be interested if i made one? i love star trek in most of its iterations but in a lot of ways the novels were really my fandom, and i've been seeing a lot of people talking about the old books and reminiscing and a lot of new fans asking what books they should read and it would be nice to have a place that focused on that. plus i'm anticipating paramount wanting to make some more money off the movie and they'll probably start releasing movie-verse novels soon, and there's a lot of potential for awesome there.

i'm thinking we could have groups readthroughs as well as be a nice central place for book discussion/questions/ etc. if it already exists point me to it but if not i'd love to make it happen so there's a place for people to post about k's't'lk and scotty's epic love or compare and contrast vulcan culture in the vulcan academy murders and, say, demons or the lost years.

okay, i might have gone and accidentally got excited about the new star trek movie. and maybe now have plans to see it on wednesday night with friends for my birthday. and even made an icon from my favourite star trek movie and everything.

hmmm.
