Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de

I liked the Sword of Damocles. This is the first book of Thorne I have read. While the plot may not have been the best of the Star Trek: Titan series, I may have been the best written. If I had read it years ago, I probably would have hated it, as the story is not linear. For example, the first chapter is the Epilogue. I was upset originally because I thought the author/editor was an idiot, it was only several chapters later that I realized that the "epilogue" took place well after Chapter 1 (though not actually after chapter 16). Similarly, it ended with a prologue. Quite a bit of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. I felt like I finally am starting to get a hold of who all these new characters are, mostly by Thorne writing most of the story from their perspective, with Riker and Troi …

I particularly fell in love with Commander Jaza, and I kept hoping for something more from him, but alas...
I never understood why it was titled Sword of Damocles.

DSM-III-R lists eight criteria for BPD, five of which must be present for diagnosis. At first glance, these criteria may seem unconnected or only peripherally related. When explored in-depth, however, the eight symptoms are seen to be intricately connected, interacting with each other so that one symptom sparks the rise of another like the pistons of a combustion engine. The eight criteria may be summarized as follows: (1) Unstable and intense interpersonal relationships. (2) Impulsiveness in potentially self-damaging behaviors, such as substance abuse, sex, shoplifting, reckless driving, bìnge eating. (3) Severe mood shifts. (4) Frequent and inappropriate displays of anger. (5) Recurrent suicidal threats or gestures, or self-mutilating behaviors. (6) Lack of clear sense of identity. (7) Chronic feelings of emptiness or boredom. (8) Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.

Hmm you need 5 of 8 to be BORDERLINE? What if I have all eight?
