The Glade 4.0

Howdy, guys. This Dragon*Con, I didn't make it out to many panels since I was trying to coordinate with more people than usual (brought my brothers along, and didn't want to just turn them *too* loose since it can be a bit overwhelming at first) and I was also trying to spend more time in the board gaming room (mission accomplished, check later in the Gaming forum)...

But I did make it to Brandon Sanderson's reading. He read a new chapter from A Memory of Light, which happened to be Mat's first PoV chapter of the book.

And, now that I go to look it up, since it was mentioned that Tor would post the chapter, I see that Tor has already done a quite thorough summary of the whole panel, which includes a link to the chapter.

Just finished reading the teaser. I can not wait, sadly I stupidly schedualed a vacation when it comes out, so I have to wait. It will be torture.

Are you vacationing on a desert island? Bookstores, man! The physical ones don't require a shipping address!

Self preservation man. I am an addict, once I start reading a book I have a vey hard time putting it down. When it will be released I will just be leaving for a week+ at Disney world (which I am very very much looking forward too). If I have the book in my posessesion, or access, I will have to read it (or my wife may kill me). So I have to tough it out, maybe download it to the kindle as we are leaving for some airport reading.

On a tanget, I also can not wait for disney world, 8 days, 7 nights, all the dinner reservations made, everything is payed for, now 140 ish days to freaking wait.

The book won't be available on ebook for several months after the release date because the publishers/McDougal want to make sure that as many people as possible pirate it before they make it available. At least that is the only reasoning I can come up with.

It doesn't impact me too much, as I'll be buying a physical copy anyway, as I have all the others in the series and want to complete the set. But if it were any other book, I'd be very pissed off.

Just finished the prologue for A Memory of Light that was just released yesterday.

Incredible.
