It did to those of us who've been keeping up
here. 
But who're you kidding, since you read FR over a year ago?

Hang on again! If he started reading it in 2004 - just after Runes came out - that would make it "over three years ago!" And if the first draft was done at the end of February 2006 (as per the News section of the official site), that means he was "teased" along through one of the most exciting Donaldson books ever at a snail's (aka "Jay's" <grin>) pace - which surely twisted his sanity more than a bit.
But the wait is the same between books for us Readers. Okay - I know we're not getting any sympathy there. But I had to try.
I'm STILL psyched about FR's release, though! As soon as it shows up I'm going to curl up with it with the same enthusiasm as anyone else.

Hang on again again? Was it 2004? Who knows! I don't
.
...and, yes, my sanity is twisted....
...but, you're pulling everyone's leg, right? You want sympathy??!?!
I deserve sympathy: I don't have an adjective!

Nah, you're a good guy, Romeo. At least you didn't go around flashing an "I read FR and you didn't" sign at everyone.

I don't know ... guys don't "curl up" with books.
I'm gonna read FR like a man ... I'm gonna watch TV while I read it, and then I'm gonna roll over and go to sleep. And in the morning it had better make me breakfast.

He has several to choose from but I think the pink and grey plaid is his favorite.
