Gerr does research?!

[Gerrendus]

So I'm posting today and I'm thinking of the best way to respond and I turn my head and say an ad for "The Gathering Storm" with RJ credited and it continues.  Intrigued I click the link and see that Tor has apparently decided that A Memory of Light would be too long to realease it as a single book...

"it was split into three volumes when it was believed a single volume would be too large to print."  Says Wikipedia.

 

I find this highly amusing although a bit saddening at the same time.

 

This concludes Gerr Research time (because how else do I fidn things out than by random ads on DM...?)

I found out about this the other day

 

I'M ANGERED!

 

I don't want 3 books, I want 1!

 

1 GOSHDARNIT!

It was posted in the news yoinks ago, kidlettes.  It's crap, to be sure, but on the other hand?  We get something to read this year, and of a comparable size to some of the other WoT books.  So like.. shut up and take your crack; I know I will be.

[Barmacral]

Yes, this isn't exactly the newest of news anymore, way to be way behind the times.

 

Also, I don't think its crap, I'm excited to be reading stuff this year.

[Gerrendus]

I am at least excited to be reading something this year.  And I'm sorry I'm behind on the news!  I don't leave this board and read the actual DM news forums most times...

[Dunbar]

But I want clooosure :(

[Gerrendus]

But this way we get to start our closure sooner. Otherwise the publication date would be 2011...

[Dunbar]

Yarrr..

 

also I need to either read up on or reread wot, as it's mostly slipped from my mind o_o
