Before the release of TOM...

[KefkaPalazzo]

What are you doing/reading before TOM's release?

 

I'm reading Under the Dome by Stephen King, and procrastinating on a 21-page paper about warfare in ancient Greece due at the end of the semester. I haven't started it yet. I'm just glad midterms were LAST week. 3 tests, 2 papers, and TOM? I probably couldn't help blowing off something.

 

I think I'll be completely ADD during the next week or so at school and work. How about you?

[Nandera]

I just finished reading The Way of Kings. I am so glad I finished it before 11/2. There's no way I'd be able to concentrate on it during the next week! I'm also perusing the BBOBA, reading about the Age of Legends.

[horus17]

Path of Daggers, hahahaha. I thought I timed my n'th reread better. I was wrong. I need to start chop-chopping.

[LazyMonk]

I'm rereading every Diskworld book I can find. just finished 'I shall wear midnight'. I just love Pratchett's writing.

[Elend]

Working on my novel and occasionally getting further in my aSoIaF re-read.

I'm currently suffering through Wizard's First Rule, on the grounds that something so awful can only increase my appreciation of ToM.

You're a braver man than I.

This is the one book in my life I actually regret reading, and not only because I'm a rabid WoT fan. It was such a pitiful attempt at riding the epic fantasy bandwagon. But more gratuitous sex and a love story that makes no sense make it better right? Wrong.

 

Ever been to their fansite? LOL. I used to "troll" there under the name Mat Cauthon just saying "Read WoT. Read WoT. This series is an embarrassing shadow."

 

I know I know, if I don't like it I shouldn't read it. I don't care. Consider this a PSA. You've been warned.

 

Edit: On topic, I'm reading Dragon Reborn. My how innocent our heroes were back then. Warms the heart.

You clearly don't understand the Important Human Themes, death-chooser

 

ETA: In case the two big smilies don't make it clear, I'm joking :O

[OptimusPrime]

Ive been reading Lord of Chaos, and I think I'll probably read Winters Heart before and whatever else I can get of Taim beforehand. In ToM watch his hands.

Don't worry, WoT and SoT fandom are mutually exclusive. This is the one place I can be completely safe in my bashing of this inferior series. I'll admit, I did pick up a used copy of the second book of the series, but it was just so stupid I never finished it.

[Crael123]

Maze Runner trilogy. some good books. Also reread Hunger games and CoS. well the last few chapters where rand kills sammeal. i have been revisiting my favorite scenes hahaha to get more anticipation for TOM

[Kelven]

I'm currently on chapter 15 of tGS. 35 chapters left to read in 8 days, so 5 chapters a night will give me a day breather. I think I timed my re-read quite well

[Oliver]

Re-Reading tGS and reading the awesome Jeff Smith graphic novel (which you should all read) RASL.

[anotherfingolfin]

last thing i read was The Lies of Locke Lamoraby Scott Lynch; really need to get the sequel. if you haven't already read it, and have a sense of humour, you really should! I was planning on starting the Malazan books, even had Gardens of the Moon with me, but i never did. Now i have Midnight's Children by Rushdie waiting for me, which is on my must-read list, but maybe i should stick to Kaplan's Mathematics Foundations of the GMAT, instead. :P

[trench]

Once I get home i get to jump right into a "A visit from Verin Sedai" and read until TGS is done. Tommorow im thinking of picking up Fable 3 and playing it until the next Teusday.

[Tom Sawyer]

Readinfg Tigana by Gay Gabriel Kay. An excellent and well-written fantasy novel.

[KefkaPalazzo]

I've been rereading TGS, too. I've been at it since about June, and got to VoG in about 3 days. I haven't touched it since. I'll finish on the first. God, why can't they release this on a Saturday? I'm gonna be completely useless in class that day. Geography, Ancient Greek History, and Teacher Ed stand in my way. At least they're all lectures.

[NetSlider]

Probably a stupid questions but what is BBOBA?

[Kadere]

BBOBA= Big Book Of Bad Art= The Big White Book= The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time.

 

I've been insanely consistent with my reread despite work and school, and I'm starting TGS today, reading 100 pages a day. Should have it finished Monday.

In seven ages I would never, ever, neverever, guested it!

Well that's not entirely true. I actually read and enjoyed the entire SoT series. Though I will readily admit that WoT is much better and on an entirely different level.

Ohhhh of course you had to go there....:]

[Keiling]

I'm reading The Name of the Wind by Pat Rothfuss. Really great read, and keeps me from freaking out about this one more week to go agony.

[Baletickle_to_da_face!]

What did you think of Under the Dome Kefka? I was quite surprised. Other then Duma Key, some short stories, and The Dark Tower books, King hadn't written anything in the '00's that was that good. I was surprised that Under the Dome was actually really, really good. A nice way to bookend his career with epic 1,000 pagers contrasting and comparing the way it did with The Stand.

 

Anywho, I am on Path of Daggers. While it seems as though I am laughably behind on my reread, from the way time has slowed to a crawl the past month in my overwhelming anticipation for ToM I half expect it to be going so slow I might actually be able to read 5 books in 7 days!

[Kestrel]

Why, Cap'n Kirk, I'm reading my technical manuals, of course.

 

(Got to be sure I know how to get rid of all those tribbles.)
