I'm happy that it's long. The more time I can spend in the world the happier i'll be. Just seems so daunting, I usually prefer books that are a bit shorter. Take for example all of Orson Scott Card's stand alone novels. They are all around 300 pages and are still really immersive.

Yes, same way I feel for the Drizzt novels from  R.A. Salvatore. They are around 300 pages (give or take) and I find them very immersive as well.

But again, I like the long, epic novels/series, also, as long as they are captivating. And I’ve been pretty lucky in that regards with the epic series’ I’ve picked.

 :o wow  :o

Now I'm just a little scared.



Yes, I know what you mean.  :)

But I stand corrected, the only other book I know of that is this long is To Green Angel Tower (Tad Williams). And that definitely was split up into two books.

But really, it doesn’t bother me too much. I actually like that it is long. I was just surprised because you rarely see that.

Ok, I think that's the biggest harcover book I have seen.   :)  Would hate to see what that will be in paperback, I am guessing two volumes.

As for the tour dates, can I assume will they be posted in the 'Events' section on Brandon's website when they are available to the public?

Ok, that's understandable. Can't do a 'big' tour every year.  :)

As long as the Chicagoland area is part of that big tour for AMoL! 

Thanks Peter.

I don't know if this has been asked yet or not, but is there any Way of Kings book tour scheduled for Brandon?

Edit: Whoa! Did I read that right on Amazon? It has 1008 pages listed for Way of Kings. For hardcover??

Oh wow, ok, I just saw on Dragonmount that the tour schedule for The Gathering Storm was not released until beginning of September.  :D  I think I definitely asked this a bit early, then. 

Sorry.

I know it's still only May (well, just shy of June), but has there been any information on Brandon's book tour for Towers of Midnight?  I assume he is going to have one.

Ugh. I guess that means that my pretty, numbered TGS will have to wait on my table, gathering dust, until I've read over 1,000 pages of prequel. Sigh.

I guess I don't understand the frustration. I mean the main fun and experience of The WoT is to go through it all. To see the epic story unfold and the characters move forward and grow.

I mean if you don't want to read the story, that is certainly your choice. But my question is if you aren't interested in the story of the series, why do you want to read TGS, then?

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Just got TGS... so upset. There are a good 40 pages missing...

Oh wow, sorry to hear that!

I certainly hope that isn't the case with mine.  As I got my copy signed by Brandon last night.
