Day 487 since Ghost Story........

The Long Night is OVER.

Salvation has arrived. 515 pages of pure, uncut, unsullied Dresden.

For the weak? Those who succumbed to the previews? A woeful 483 pages.

I pity them their willful stupidity in reducing their own glorious hit of Dresden.

But I temper my thoughts with the knowledge that soon, once again, we shall all begin the wait anew.

For now however, I depart, for my book is awaiting.

Underlined, totally untrue. Why would i not re-read the epicness that is chapters 1 through 4? Every other Jim Butcher novel i have read, i read all the preview chapters, including the Alera books. And when I got my hands on the finished versions i always re-read the chapters. To do otherwise seems like folly to me.

Key word - UNSULLIED. You'd already read those first few pages. They were sullied.

[Cause]

Step 1: Take the book
Step 2: Rip cover from spine
Step 3: Seperate pages
Step 4: place them in automatic scanner
Step 5: Scan
Step 6: Forward results to me

LIES!!! They were a slow, languorous re-introduction to the sweet sweet bliss that is dresden opium. Once the finished product comes out, i switch drugs to full on crack cocaine. Otherwise the interim between fixes is excruciating. Instead of settling for one quick blast of overdose inducing narcotics, i pace myself. You may say no one ever wins in a battle against such insidious substances, and you would almost be right. I'm at work right now twitching while waiting for lunch so i can go read, and probably forego lunch in favour of my fix, in true addict fashion.

Point is, we all battle our addictions in a slightly different manner. I prefer to be subsumed early and prolong the experience for as long as humanly possible before the inevitable spiral of pleasure at getting my fix followed by the despair once realisation that once over, a fix of that magnitude may be more than a year and a half away, begins. That seems an extremely sadistic method of self torture.

I just died a little inside from reading this blasphemy and sacrilage. How dare you, Sir! HOW DARE YOU!!!

[Tiste Simeon]

Still not available on Kindle! I'm guessing Amazon is gonna stick to the official date... Each day that the preorder date doesn't change, I grow weaker...

Still not clicked a link though!

[End of Disc One]

I wasn't aware that Amazon ever changed their Kindle date, aside from the accidental case of Stonewielder.

I've also been checking for ebook leaks...no luck so far.

Yeah, Waterstones, Sauchiehall Street Glasgow.

The same Waterstones that gave me MOI three weeks ahead of publication date

[Imperial Historian]

Well I picked it up at waterstones too. Spent a nice lazy Sunday reading it. Pretty good. Lot's of interesting stuff happened, but I wouldn't put it in the same bracket as dead beat and changes.

[Use Of Weapons]

Read it, loved it, left wanting more immediately. So much potential fallout from events!

[champ]

Just bought it from Waterstones in Newcastle too!

Cancelled all plans tonight!

[Hound]

Finished it yesterday. It was absolutely awesome

[Tiste Simeon]

ARGH NOOOOO! Too many people have it! I have no time to go to Waterstones & besides, I have all of them thus far on Kindle so I really don't want to go buying a book for the sake of having the book! *weeps profusely*

[QuickTidal]

You know you're going to cave and buy the book Tiste...WE know you're going to cave....just cave....it's only GOOD for you to do it.

[Tiste Simeon]

But it makes no economical senTEH CRACK IS BEGINNING TO CALL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!one!!!!!!!!!!

[Abyss]

Fuck economics.
Economics would have me waiting another week for amazon.ca to get its shit together.
Nuh-uh. fuck that action. Money.... feh. I got my fix fast hard and EARLY.
AND IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD.

OR YOU COULD JUST GO READ THE PROMO CHAPTER AND THEN DECIDE IF ITS WORTH IT OH ITS WORTH IT IT IS SO WORTH IT
HOLY FUCK THAT THING THAT HAPPENS IN CHAPTER 22 IS JUST INSANE!!!!!!

[Slow Ben]

Living on a budget trying to save money. sucks.

Instead of just buying it and enjoying the awesomeness I have to wait until I go home in 3 weeks and borrow my brothers copy.

Same with Blood and Bone.
