I would have reread the whole series, but there isn't enough time. Just reading LFB will take me up to the release date, I think (it always takes me longer to read TCTC than any other books).

I could read LFB... or the vitals of it in a few days... I can speed read though.
I can understand why it takes a long time though.

I am a big fan of RZ, I'm very happy at the moment because I've just completed my Amber collection with all of the Merlin books in First editions (a lot of Christmas and Birthday presents from the wife)
I've read the first series I think 4 times and the 2nd Chronicles twice but strangely wasn't aware there was even a 2nd Chronicles until about3 or 4 years ago. I could read them over and over, too (given enough time)~!
Re the Amber collection, sweet, and it sounds like you have a really cool wife~! I hope I'll find one like that someday, too~!

Awesome~! I hope the book sells really well and draws in new fans, as well. I know I'll be loaning out my book to any friends wanting to check it out~!

I've told the friend that I loaned 1st and 2nd Chronicles to that he has to buy Runes - just doing my part to increase sales!

Er...then what is the point of having an ARC? You must have some kind of willpower to have held off reading the book for so long. I wouldn't have put myself through such needless anguish.

Thats just the point - Why did I buy an ARC?
I have waited for this book for so long, and I should have read it in a single go, as soon as I got it, but as me nana used to say 'there's nothing so queer as folk'
And the ARC was only 40 quid, and it has such a cool cover (especially if, like me, you don't get Tolkein)

This is a countdown, Darth. It says so in the title.

Darth, for those of us who
haven't read the book, we're just getting into the spirit, Mr. Runes-Know-It-All.

Exactly, MM.
Darth, I started this thread, and I intend to countdown each and every day. If everyone counts down with me, then there's that much more fun, excitement and anticipation to go around.
At least I'm not doing this just to try to run up my post count, Mallory-boy.
