Can you imagine what time he'll be up on the day of release!
Like he would go to bed the night before FR Release.
Hey! Maybe we could generate some publicity for this book if we all agree to camp out in front of our local Borders/B&N/what-have-you the night before! First we'd have to alert the media...I could write a news release... C'mon, it's not like *any* of us will be sleeping Monday night anyhow!

In anticipation of FR, I've been re-visiting the chapter dissections we did for the 2nd Chrons. Made me remember what a great time that was! It was the most serious fun I ever had here.
It also gave me a tinge of sadness when I saw Shadowlurker's name - sad that he is not around to enjoy the Last Chronicles. Which in turn reminded me of Furls Fire's brother. So when I read FR, I will do so in remembrance of Shadowlurker and Stephen C and other absent friends of the Watch.
"Fatal Revenant" by Stephen R. Donaldson (Putnam, $27.95, 610 pages; Oct. 9): Donaldson published two Thomas Covenant trilogies in the '70s and '80s to establish himself as a premier fantasy writer. The adventures take place in an alternate universe called The Land, where magic rules. "Revenant" is the second in his latest four-book series, which will conclude Thomas Covenant's long -- and often tedious -- road.
Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.
I got impatient for Fatal Revenant, so I wrote a fan-fic entitled Benign Revenant. It's mostly about a cat named Thomas, who wants to become a boy but he's in love with a frog, who turns into a prince. FINIS

There are no bookstores in my town. Don't think I wouldn't be there if I could.
perhaps that guy on the horse that comes by once a week to deliver the mail could bring you your copy? you could cook him some squirrel for his trouble...
Would this be a good place for a Harry potter parody thread?
Like could we all pretend that we'd already finished reading Fatal Revenant before it was even released and start spreading absurd spoiler rumors?
