Man seeing your posts is nearly enough to make me want to click on one of Abyss' infernal links to chapter 1! I must stay strong! I must! I took books 1-14 + Side Jobs in one fell swoop so am trying to go easy with the sweet sweeeeeeeeet narcotics thos time!

It is saying something about this series that this tempts you so mightily - you who lasted until your wedding as an unsullied man!

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

If I wasn't married and just had a kid, I would haul my ass up to Canady and buy that sumbitch!

If I had a private plane, I would right now be flying to Canada to get a copy.
Still haven't read the spoilers, only the sample chapters.

If it's any consolation, a couple of the spoilers aren't big plot points, just minor randomnesses. In fact only one spoiler tag so far has big plot stuff in it from the first few chapters...the rest are inanities.

Only, I'm not going to tell you which are which.

It's a surprise.

Ah yes, the soup is served a fore the meal. Seriously folks, read those sample chapters.

Why?

Cause they have fucking NOTHING on the chapters that follow them, AKA Chapters 4-onwards....

The bigger Chapters Indigo stores in Ontario started getting it yesterday. Mostly still in boxes but it shows in inventory and they'll get one if you ask.
Does mean paying almost full price as opposed to the amazon price which is almost $10 less.

Still, had ta gets mah fix, yknow.

And did i mention it's great?

That's what sent me to the store once QT posted that they had it. Ten days early for ten dollars.

I take it we can't bribe you and QT to buy some copy's of COLD DAYS for us addicts without a book and send them to us?

On the bright side, I have the new Malazan novel to ease some of the pain...... ^_^

You probably could but realistically after the cover price and shipping and the kidney it's a bit out of proportion to just waiting a tiny bit longer for your fix.

It's not like the book is THAT great.

Except for all the great parts. But what do i know, i'm only 180 pages in.

So.... how are those convulsions going....?

I'm like 200th in line at the library...once they get their copies in. ^_^

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch

Abyss - you live in Ottawa area right? Which Chapters did you go to?

At the chapters indigo website, you can search which store has copies.
Rideau has like 40 but most of the big stores had a few when i looked yesterday.
