There are no current plans for re-release, at least from what I've heard. It may get an American publication at some point though... what you should do is check the second hand sections on amazon (all of them, UK, US, Canada, France, Germany etc etc. I got mine for £18:D)

I usually like to have my books sort of fresh (would call it "virgin" but sounds odd) , so I buy them firsthand (I know it's dumb)

The ones I've bought have all been in immaculate condition. Usually I buy from the bookseller businesses on there, and they never read them anyway. They've all been in pristine condition. Check the seller ratings before you buy, always...

(Also got my first edition of Gardens of the Moon second hand of amazon.uk from someone who obviously didn't know what he had. Very cheap price:D)

There is also one up on eBay, but only shipping within America...

"Re-reading John Marco's wonderful "Tyrants and Kings" trilogy. Very cool."

You said that just to piss me off, right?

I'm reading Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk right now. Its alrightish.

And i already got a hold of Woken Furies, The Warrior Prophet and Little, Big by John Crowley.

Tales of the Dying Earth eh' ?

Im sorta in the middle of that. 3/4 the way through the 3 book in it.

First one is really good, the second..well I'll see how the 3rd one finished before making a conclusion on the second as the 3rd is basically the sequal to the second. If that makes any sense.

Will pick it up again when Uni finishes I think.

Finished Woken Furies, which was pretty good.

Also finished the warrior prophet... if you want to defend this unmitigated piece of crap check my rant on the books board.

I just finished the Dark tower saga and I would say its worth it. For me its right up there with the big guys of fantasy.

Oh yes, the Dark Tower is definitely worth reading.

I'm currently rereading House of Chains.

I read the first Dark Tower book and found it incredibly boring. Does it get better or should I stop before wasting anymore time? I know they are quick reads (the first one at least) but even so...

About halfway through The Darkness that comes before by R. Scott Bakker

It's not bad although it took me a little will to get into it

@Arkmam: I'd say try the second book. The first one was written a long time before, and the style's rather different.
