Kevin's Watch

Thanks Love, Hugglesssssssssssssss

I'll probably buy it on my lunch break on the 14th, and hide out in the atrium of my building reading it, and will become so absorbed I'll forget to go back to work. They'll lock the building down for the night, and it will grow dark, and the shadows will grow on the walls. I'll have to use my keychain flashlight to read it, and will pick the lock on the atrium cafe and scrounge for sustenance. They will find me the following morning under one of the fake trees with chocolate cake smeared around my mouth and a look of utter peace and contentment on my face, and promptly have me committed. In the hospital, I will beg and plead that my copy of Runes be returned to me, and they will forbid it, at which time I'll start banging my fist against the wall and ask to be taken to the Berenford Memorial Psychiatric Wing. They'll be forced to sedate me, and when they do I'll find myself transported through a gray mist, and awake on a pinnacle of rock in a strange Land.....

Ah, what bliss!

ROTFLMAO!!!!! HAHAHAHA! That´ll be cooL!

LOL Myste!!!!!!!!!!!

I just hope Damelon will be reading it as well, so I have someone to talk to about it in the real world as I am reading it.

I must thank Mr. Donaldson for giving me a perfect gift for my fortieth birthday (it will be released just a couple of days before my birthday, and my birthday is why I am leaving town, so all of my friends won't be able to throw me any of those parties with black ballooons and crepe paper -- or so I hope! )

43 days everyone!!!

After waiting more than 20 years, 43 days still seems like a long time, doesn't it?

It seems to be coming very quickly to me. Every time I pick up a book, I ask myself

Can I finish this before Runes comes out?

So I have found myself reading a lot of short, stand-alone general novels lately.

I will be receiving the CD version of Runes perhaps from , taking out all my Rock Music CDs from the changer in my truck, replacing them with Runes and then planning every trip I can for work so that I can listen to ALL 18 HOURS.

Hey, a fellow South African! Awesome!

Your local bookstores must be really slack, though - I'll have my copy on, or very shortly after, the British release date.

Nice Vimes avatar, Edge

Thank you.

WOW!! Thank you so much Danlo! I haven't been this excited since I first heard They were making a live action LOTR trilogy!
So......late 2004.......that's roughly 450 days.......10,800 hours........678,000 minutes.......

Almost there folks!!!!

But it's still too long to wait!!! ARRRRGH!!!

Ah -- ha! Hahahahahahaha!! I just figured out what to do with that "get out of a half-day of work free" coupon that I've been hoarding since the beginning of the year! I can come to work in the morning, leave at noon, walk down to Barnes & Noble, buy Runes, and sit in the park and read all afternoon! And NOOOOBODY is gonna stop me!

I'd like to read no more than a chapter a week, but I don't think I have the will power. I'll probably wander zombie-like through my daily routine, book in one hand. Miss some sleep.

I will more than likely be more like what Tom C. posted
on the first page of this thread, except
RUNES will be a birthday gift (From ME to ME)
a week late and will not start reading until about
Halloween.
But then again, I may have it read in a week or two
after buying it.
Who knows?

450 days.......10,800 hours........678,000 minutes....... ? You think THAT is long?!?! That will be nothing compared to the three year wait between Runes and Revenant. It will make the the twenty year wait between WGW and Runes seem like a weekend trip to the beach.

OMG!!! I have been hit with a sudden "I MUST READ RUNES" attack! I know I'm going to absolutely devour that book...my guess is it'll take me about two days to read. And then I'm gonna be left in tortured anticipation for the next one I wish there were a fast-forward button for life.
I should stop reading these threads, they make me antsy *rueful grin*

Exactly. I predict about 2 days for me as well. And I'm going to have to hide it from my dad for those 2 days...he might try to steal it from me. He's a wily one...He lets me get excited about something he wants, then because I'm infinitely less patient than he, I buy it the minute I can, and he gets to use it for free. It happened with Doom 3, it'll CERTAINLY happen with Runes.

I'm probably going to realise that I still haven't read WGW *shame* and try and read that real quick-like and then realize that I forgot everything and then start over with LFB... Aughhh... Why don't I just start with LFB right now, you ask? Because I'm reading Dune and I can't stop in the middle of Dune (Ok... not the middle... the 20th page) But still! And then the fresh pages of RotE will be calling me away from my beat up copy of LFB... Aughh...

I'll be taking an early lunch that day, head over to Barnes & Noble, see "Runes" on the shelf, start shaking, pick it up, sweat a bit, walk over to the register, buy it, drive back to work with the book still in the bag in the back seat so I won't be distracted by it, get to my desk and start reading, forgetting that eating is also a very important part of the day.

Two days?! It took me a year to read the full set so far, so using that as a guide, it'll take me...about 2 months to read Runes.
