Sad day.

[Comatose]

The suspense is killing me, I really can hardly wait, I'm so excited for it, and it's still months away, what am I to do???

[Hero of Ages]

You wait.

But really what is the other option.  It's not like you can find a copy anywhere yet, so......

You come up with more theories, of course!  Also, if you haven't done so yet, try reading the Simarillion.  It's a tough read, but there are a couple of really good stories in there.  You'll freak when you find out just how old Galadriel was.

LOL. Yeah, that was odd to find out you are friends w/ my cuz. (I hope she's not the one who phoned you at 4pm and wrested you from your nap, etc., etc. as mentioned on the grumpy thread post.)

It was pretty much out of the blue for me, though when I met her I did think the name Bylund sounded vaguely familiar.  I actually was her, but it was actually less that I was mad and more that I'm a grumpy person when woken before I plan to be.  I like my nap time, what can I say.

I don't know, what I personally thought was funny was realizing that since Elrond and Aragorn were related way back, when Aragorn married Arwen he was technically marrying a cousin a long way removed.

I would second the Silmarilion though, it really is a great book.  You'll learn a whole ton of cool stuff.  Not really much in the way of a singular story arc though.

Maybe Tor will release the prologue a little early, to wet our whistle.

I got to help proofread the manuscript.  You all are going to love it.  I can't wait to buy it myself, and I've already read it.   In my opinion, it's the best book of the trilogy. 

[Comatose]

Please No, don't say that, I'm already excited enough, I don't need a "the best book in the trilogy," comment hanging over my head!

[darxbane]

Why not?  Would you rather him say it was nothing special?   

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Better not to get people too excited. I personally have believed that some readers are going to hate this book and will curse Brandon and his family unto the fourth generation.

Don't go in expecting the best thing since sliced bread.

[Comatose]

UHHHH!!!!!!!!!  Why do I even visit this thread. 

 

I am for the most part, joking, it doesn't bother me overly much, but I also don't want to hear too many comments like that, I won't be able to last until october.

Which demography are you referring to with that?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

I won't discuss that until October.

[firstRainbowRose]

I won't discuss that until October.

You mean after all the people have cast their curses, so you can say "Uh, right, exactly who I was expecting"?  *peace*

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

I won't discuss that until October.

Maybe over PM then?  I think I might know who you're referring to, but I'm interested in knowing for sure.

Why not?  Are you saying the book is not good?   I know you're not saying the book is not good.  You give away too much, though.  There are really only two ways a book can get people that upset, other than the book just being bad, of course.
