Boyfriend and I had a date this afternoon.

We're both Star Trek fans, so the release of the new movie is good news to us. Boston wasn't fortunate enough to be one of the early release cities for this film, so this weekend was the first chance we had to see it. And even though it's the third day since its release, the theater was still packed. For what it's worth, we both enjoyed it immensely.

I won't go into a movie review here, nor will I give away any spoilers. If you're a Star Trek fan, though, go see the film for yourself -- and hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Behold, 15 -- count 'em, 15 -- hardcover Star Trek novels.

On weekends, unless I have something pressing to do, I'm something of a layabout. I got up, did some laundry, and then ventured out for breakfast around 3 pm. On my way back from the KFC, I noticed that the Treasure Chest, the little junk store near my house, was open, so I stopped in.

That's where I came upon these Star Trek novels, hidden on a bookshelf behind a row of videotapes. At a dollar per book, I pounced on them. I love to read, and it's my dirty little secret that I actually enjoy reading crap on occasion. Nobody will mistake these for fine literature, but they'll make for an enjoyable afternoon or two.
