:P I didn't even know it was out.

I should probably read ROTE again first cos I can't remember anything.
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

I have absolutely no problems with kissing your ass... So, when should I expect you? Do you want dinner first?

Sure! The more the merrier! ;) Of course, you'll have to ask HLT. He might want me all to himself! :P

I don't know about HLT, but I will say that Fist has a very nice ass. Don't look for reasons to avoid it.

I'll go back to the original topic because, frankly, the last few posts are kind of scary and sort of off-topic. (I hope you get your frustrations worked out. :oops: ) Amazon shipped my FR copy on the 7th, so they say, so I will be reading it as I walk back down my driveway from grabbing it out of my mailbox, ripping off the cardboard and littering the road with it. In other words, pee on waiting for all the other books. I might die five minutes from now; I shall deny myself nothing in the meantime. I suggest you all read it as quickly as possible. Any "contest" that causes you to deny yourself any pleasure of any kind is a joke; no way could a true SRD fan really mean that. NO way. Forfend!!!!

I just finished Sandworms of Dune. (Finally) I was intending to reread the Gap series before FR, but amazon says its delivered and my willpower is crumbling.

But Covenant was back at the end of Runes...........and he's riding a horse.
He fricking HATES horses though!

I just picked up FR today and have not yet quite finished ROTE (second time) I have discovered that I am not as strong as I thought I was... FR just sitting there.... so I look at the cover real close, read the back, OK everythings fine then I think what the heck, I open carefully to the definitions and read ONE name ... BAM! That was all it took to reveal just stupid amounts of story. Doh!

Rocksister. You have mail.

You have had mail.

You have had mail for some time now.

I struggle, with my inadequate, native, knowledge, of english, to come up with some sort of plu-plu-perfect tense, to describe.

How long.

You've.

Had mail.

To now your will have been having to have been needing to be reading your mail for some time now.

I don't intend to read Fatal Revenant until I die and am reincarnated as a Covenant fan.

I bought it, waiting for it to arrive. As with Runes, I plan on waiting til all 4 are out to read them, but it didn't work out w/Runes, so we'll see. If I can keep a queue of other books, I should be OK.

This is SOOO not fair. If I'm lucky, maybe I can get my mom to buy it and send it via a friend who's traveling. It has just about zero chance of making it into a book store in Moscow, and would cost 50% more if it did.

Can you guys start my count anyway? ;)

I got my copy of FR yesterday from Amazon. I read the first three chapters last night. I avoided reading the teasers on SRD's site, except for the WHGB. I can't wait to get home and keep reading! :D

I keep reading this from people.
It blows my mind!!!
People are really going to wait until 2013 before reading the series? :hairs:

I am humbled and horrified at the same time.

No. I aim to, but I'm a realist. I'll wind up reading Runes again and then FR. Then when next comes out, plan to wait, but read all 3 again.
