Haven't started it yet.

I want to re-read Runes, and I haven't been able to force myself into the midset yet. It'll probably be a month or so. :D

I warned you...

At least Beorn has finished it, and Hyperception is up to page 353. So at this rate, you'll be waiting for me.

...besides, at the rate your plans to get down here are going, I don't think I need to rush now, do I? ;)

You got nothing on me, I'm too busy to even go to a bookstore and look lovingly at those covers. The holidays are the earliest I just might get to it. Aaaahhhh... the delayed gratification.

At this rate, I'll be lucky if I ever get it.

I'm not sure of the page I'm on. I think I finally cracked into the 200's. I'm something of a slow reader when it comes to Covenant books, but ye gods....the typeset is small and this is the biggest damn Covenant book yet. I feel like I've been reading it forever, but still am not even at the halfway point yet. Then again, I'm reading before I go to bed each night. And I think I got it a week after it came out, or at least started it then due to wanting to finish my reread of Runes first. I'd love to finish it quickly so that I can catch up with all the posts in the FR forum, but I'm avoiding spoilers as much as I can. But honestly, I'm in no rush, as I know the wait for the next book will be long.

I've still not got my copy from the library yet. I'm close to cracking and just going to buy a copy.

Valued Opinions finally had amazon vouchers available--they'd been out of them for a few weeks--so I finally ordered my copy last night.

I went to see if they had FR at the library, and discovered that my library has only 6 books by Donaldson, and only two are from the Chrons, and both are from first Chrons. I hope my friend gets her copy to me soon... I hate buying books that I haven't already read.

Auleliel, does your library take part in the inter-library loan system? I get many books from the library that way.

At my local library, the system is called ILLiad. Your library may have something similar set up.

I don't know. I don't usually go to this library because I technically don't live in the right town (except for the 8 months of the year when I'm at school). I'll have to look into that, when I have time... and now is the busiest part of the semester...
