RR, I'm with you. I wont do it. I will stay strong. And the goading will just feed into the frenzy of not being able to put down the full thing when I finally have it in my hands.

My initial reaction was to avoid it like the plague. Like the others I wanted the holistic experience.

Eight minutes later I was signing up on Tor's website. I need more self-discipline.

Cīmon, laddles n gentlemints...join us over at the *Dark side*.....:p
Rrrreeeaaaad those pages...and come to the conclusion that SE selected those 10 pages so sneakily, torturingly well, because all he reveals are what players (some of them) will show up in the final act, plus some major nervegrinding foreboding about what these little fuckers might be about (not ARE, not WILL, but...just...MIGHT)...

wanna know ? I hate that man. This is like quenching life-threatening thirst with sea water...

Nope- you're not the only as I have refrained from reading it and will do so until I get my grubby little paws on my copy of the book and open it to the first pages and read it there. I've learned that the anticipation of waiting as it builds up to the day I finally get to read or watch something I've long waited for is more than worth it once I get to it. Things like these don't come around very often where the excitement that builds as the day when you finally get to read or see that you've waited and waited for slowly gets closer and closer and then BAM! the day finally comes I get to feel like a kid on Christmas morning once again. Or like the kid that I wasn't like who didn't hunt through all their parents' hiding places for presents and ruin the big surprise.

Having something like this to look forward is well worth it IMO and since I'll probably feel a great sense of joy on that day and the days of reading the book followed by a sense of sadness after finishing knowing I won't get to feel that way again about this series. But I still can look forward to re-reading the entire series as I will once I finish TCG because after coming to this site it's painfully obvious I missed a ton of stuff on the first read through and I'm excited about that.

I wasn't going to read it, until I was told it nicely cleared up something that had bothered me about DOD. I'm happy I read it just for that, though the whole chapter is amazing.

I've resisted up until now, mainly because I have too much to do before CG comes out and I don't want to get distracted. I've got to finish Great Expectations for *^&%'s sake! And I've not even started it yet!

Besides, spoilers make me drool.
It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.
