Anyone know when the omen machine is to be released? I can't wait! ;D

August 16th. I won't be reading or reviewing it for Elitist Book Reviews in case anyone is wondering. I put myself through a lot of punishment for that blog, but this is one step I'm not willing to take.
That being said however, I fully support anyone's desire to read the novel. As long as it keeps a person reading, I can't say too much. To each his own.

You still need to review the Warded Man. Take one for the team, Steve.

Already has. Several, in fact.
And I wouldn't touch Omen Machine with a three-mile pole. I might consider a three-mile island however...

I'm going on a binge where I only read books I WANT to read. I need to wash the taste of bad novels from my, uh, eyes. Or something.
A guy can only take so much punishment before he goes nuts. I nearly reached that point a month ago.

I, on the other hand, am quite fond of his work, despite some...ah...flaws. Any books you guys know of that would be impressive enough to change my mind?
-
Really kind of depends. You could go to my blog and check out the bajillion novels we've reviewed.

I know WriterDan will point as quickly as possible to Daniel Abraham. I personally enjoy Adrian Tchaikovsky, Joe Abercrombie, and Steven Erikson.
Honestly I have no idea what Peter likes. Sometimes we agree to the point of feeling a little creeped out, then other times we couldn't be further apart with our opinions.
Edit: Shiael - I also hope I didn't come across as bashing your taste in reading. I personally don't care for Goodkind much, but I respect your right to like whatever you want (whatever lets your mind wander). If everyone liked the same thing life would get boring.

im always open to new things... and i will check those out. strangely, I haven't heard of one of them. Only my library is for a town of three hundred people, soo....yeah. XD

....you were right...... the omen machine was a terrible let-down. i refuse to touch it again, even with a 'mile long pole', lol!
