Wow I better take TWG off my bookmarks until I actually read the book...its only a matter of time until some crucial detail is revealed...

Not to mention the fact that I will want to e-strangle everyone who has read it already...

Did I mention that I hate you?

I can hardly stand the waiting any more! And seriously, I don't know if I can bear to not ask if you have to it your hat or when Reaves will have to start wearing a profile picture.

actually. It took over three hours. I used two different computers to post each one. The time was off in one....DRRR--don't make me prove that I've read the book by revealing the end! I'll do it! lol.

Except that it is most likely the server timestamp and would be independent of the posting computer's clock. Besides, I use an automatic refresher on my browser for forums and I noticed your first post and then 15 minutes later the other post.
Now you've got all the ones with beards on one side and all the
moustaches on the other.

i don't know how to explain that...really, im not sure how that happened. I can show you a picture of me reading the book...i could tell you something about the book...i could just ignore you--but i don't see why its so hard to believe...really, why do you not believe me?

Went to B&N this afternoon, where I reserved it, but they didn't have it yet (picked up Alcatraz though). Went to the Borders down the street, and they had a big display of them near the front.

That's awesome. Hopefully that will get more people to buy Brandon's stuff.

Well, it's the one he's going to be signing at in Torrance, so that explains the display. (There were a bunch of "signing calendar" flyers too.) But still...they shouldn't have released it early.

Oh, that explains it. If there was a gigantic display at the Borders in Bozeman, I would hop right on down. But alas, they have no copies of it. For shame (though that could just mean they don't have their copies yet, or they are waiting until Tuesday).

Of course, since I've already preordered one copy from Amazon and bought another from Sam Weller's, there's no necessity to go haywire and try and find a mythical early copy. I have some sense of self-control.
