No. 
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I think I can speak for all of us who post here, with out exception, when I say we are here because we enjoy his work and the interaction with the author and each other. We expect nothing other than conversations about  topics that we enjoy, with people we are getting to know and learning about :)

If he were to give away free books to anyone, I'd prefer it if it wasn't forum-goers. Most of us here already appreciate his work enough to be more than willing to part with the cost of the book, whereas there might be some people who would like to read his books but can't get ahold of them via other means.

What wishful thinking.  But honestly, I'd rather get the book then GO TO a signing and meet Brandon.

If you do publish, how about making it like $3.99 or less?

Can you guys start giving away LCD HD-TVs and stuff to prepare us for going digital?

Who can't afford $359 for a Kindle?  It had a price drop from $399.

For someone that was saying how any shmuck should be able to shell out $360 for a Kindle, you seem to spend a lot of time asking for stuff for free or cheap.

I believe that some people already have signed copies of MB3   ;)

If you want a signed copy, go to a signing.  They are very very worth it.  Brandon is a really awesome person.  Lots of people in his type of position say they enjoy engaging with fans, but with Brandon, you really get the feeling that he genuinely does.  He's always willing to share advice or answer questions.  I've been to a couple signings now and all have been great.

Sigh...

Maybe, UtopiaGreen01, it would better for you to think before you start a topic so you don't get your head ripped off. Right now as I am reading this, it is taking a lot of self-restraint to not go berserk on these idiotic topics of yours.

I mean, come on. Brandon will not be giving away free books. Wasn't that... obvious? Now, I looked at a recent blog post of his, and he stated that he would do something for fans who live far away (who can't get to the Hero of Ages release party) to get a signed/numbered copy... but obviously they wouldn't be free. Who do think Brandon is, Bill Gates? Shipping alone, man...

Wow, dude. You hurt my brain.

I'm a fan of Brandon's stuff, so I'd probably look through these boards anyway, but I find myself coming here more and more often to see what kind of hilarious topic UtopiaGreen01 has posted. I'm really sorry I missed the HDTV one. I'll have to search for it just for a good laugh.

I know. I missed that one too.

And seriously. I'm never quite sure whether to laugh hysterically at the very idea that someone actually seriously said some of those things, or just be sad that such a person exists.

Its times like these that i realize I love you guys. I dont think i've enjoyed a thread as much as this since I became a member. I almost want to thank Utopia for the entertainment but I will thank schneb instead.
