Sure! Sunday noon good for you?

 

[Shannow]

Depending on if the family is coming over for dinner and to see the new place or not. I will let you know, but it should be fine...noon eastern or central (since I know you are in the non american time zone)

 

[Dave]

CST, as always.

 

[Shannow]

You should get on civilized time, like us here in New York

 

[Dave]

East coast bastards.

 

[Shannow]

Better human beings.

Fixed.


I will try to make sure I have it finished by the time I get tio sunday. Worst case, we got 11 other books and the prequal we can talk about.


Or the pc game.



...which I own.

 

[Dave]

I do not own the game. I'm not an East coast bastard OR a total dweeb.

 

[Shannow]

Just a sad, sad lonely old man

 

[Dave]

Yes.

 

[Shannow]

Toughen up, bucko! We wont have none of this here manbawwin crap! You gonna act like a real man!

 

[Shannow]

We still on for this sunday, then?

 

[Shegokigo]

I'm guessing that was a no.

 

[Dave]

It's a yes. I just did it in PMs instead of here.

 

[Shegokigo]

A LIKELY STORY!

Books 6 & 7 are the biggest books I've ever read where nothing happened.

I felt this way about a good portion of The latest A Song of Ice and Fire book, a Feast For Crows (mostly concerning all those Dorne and Breanne chapters) and I really hope the series doesn't fall into the same pitfall as Jordan's.

Who would've thought it took the death of the man to get the WoT series back on track? I really hope it doesn't take that for Martin's Ice & Fire...

I read through the first.. 9 books in whole. I somehow just stopped caring about 6 chapters left in the 10th book. I just felt it was going no where and wished the man dead for his milking the cash cow to death. When he did a prequel book instead of moving the story forward, I really stopped caring.

Maybe someday I'll go back and reread them all. It's interesting how he ties in all these old established ideas into trying to make them his own.

 

[chakz]

Just finished it. Good grief that was sastisfying.


That is all.

Go here and tell me what you thought specifically.

Somewhere around book 6 or 7 it really started going downhill, getting worse and worse. You can tell in book 11 though he realized he was dying and started moving things along again, instead of making 500 word descriptions of exactly what every person was wearing down to the lace embroidery with inlaid gold and pearl sequins with silver thread running up the left seam to the shoulder where a brooch of silver and turqoise pinned a lily to the blah blah blah blah straightened her dress blah blah blah wish Matt was here, he knows how to talk to women blah blah blah channeling the power can reheat a mug of wine but not heat a brick so the Aes Sedai have to freeze in their tents blah blah blah.

So, I guess I'll probably read the last book just to have some damned closure, but Jordan was a goddamned HACK. He streched what should have been a single book out into 4 or 5.
