The Glade 4.0

On one hand I feel bad, but on the other I'm kinda chuckling. I so did not expect my post to be interpreted as anyone dying.

That said, so much for making the 600 pages last until the book's release. Grr.

In case you didn't read Kaffis's spoiler, LK, A Storm of Swords and A Dance with Dragons are supposed to be considered two halves of one book. A Storm of Swords focuses entirely on one set of characters, A Dance with Dragons focuses on the remainder.

Oh ok...thank you, I didn't read Kaffis' spoiler, and won't read any spoilers in here.
Sorry, Coren I am 2/3 of the way through Storm of Swords and those 3 characters are all in, *predicaments* right now so when you said they weren't in the next book I just kinda thought.... heh, oops.

Whew. These books really suck you in, don't they?

3 hours and 15 minutes until I can download it on my Kindle. Taking the day off work tomorrow.

Just finished it. I feel numb heh.

Are you serious?? It just came out today, lol! You're done already?

I believe he said he'd already read the first 600 pages from a download.

Btw, numb from reading overload, or numb from events and occurrences within?

Don't answer that!!! lol!!!

Well to be vague enough to be safe (but still spoilering in case)...

I'm still enjoying Game of Thrones.

Just finished the TV series and forgot how $#@#$^&#@ amazing the ending of book 1 was. I remember holding my breath for the final chapter.

Extra bonus, I'm off work until Monday and I just bought my e-copy of 'Dance with Dragons'....the sun is shining outside, I'm going to go sit out on the deck and read until my eyes fall out!

I've got A Dance with Dragons... and am facing a quandary.

I just finished up Small Favor yesterday morning (had the day off work) on my way to re-reading the latter half of Dresden Files in preparation for the 26th's release of Ghost Story.

The plan had been to buckle down and get reading this weekend, in order to polish off ADwD and get back to Dresden in time.

But now, I crack open ADwD and realize... a) I forgot how much more dense Martin's style of writing is compared to Butcher's, so my pagerate calculations need serious revision; and b) the foreword revealed to me that ADwD extends beyond the chronology of AFfC, which I had skipped on my reread last spring since I had assumed that the events and characters would be only tangentially relevant to ADwD -- except with the extended chronology, now some of them will be popping up and picking up where they left off, of which my memory is terrible.

So, despite the impending spoileriness bound to spring up in discussion here and elsewhere, I think I need to prioritize Dresden, since I want to finish Ghost Story before I go to the local Butcher signing on the 29th, where there's always some ******* who blurts a major spoiler in the Q/A section no matter how recently the book's been released. (Hmm. Looking at Side Jobs again, I forgot how many short stories get crammed between Small Favor and Turn Coat. The decision looks better and better...) So, 2 novels, 1 novella, and 5 short stories to go. I've got 12 days... And if I finish a little early, the first 5 chapters of Ghost Story are online.

With that.. I shall gracefully take my leave of this thread and maybe return by the end of the summer, after all that Dresden and 2 (!) more Martin books since it looks like I'll have to go back to AFfC after all.

Soooo can we start with the Dance of Dragon's questions and spoilers yet? If the answer is no, do not click on the following.

Uncle Fester,

You quoted that last part, an AFFC spoiler. I think you meant to spoiler it maybe?

I spoilered it, just in case. Fester can change it back if he wants...

Umm...so I'm 91% through ADwD.

WTF?

No we get it, Doom does not care for the author, I for one am just not caring for his lack of care.

Time to fire up the re-education camp.
