I don't know for you, but I have a mitigated feeling about this.

>The end of Tyler Durden, living inside Jack

an interesting thing evidenced by this statement: it's going off of the movie's canon, not the book's canon considering that in the book Jack kills himself in the process of killing Tyler

also in the book the narrator's name is assumed to be Joe, not Jack so there's another thing that points to that.

I'm interested, I wouldn't really say excited but I want to see where it goes

Finished A Clash of Kings, starting A Storm of Swords now.

I hear this is the long one.

424,000 words. a little over a thousand pages (for the hardcover.) get ready

A Dance of Dragons has like 3 less pages and two less words, so prepare yourself again once you finish A Feast for Crows

I've actually made it nearly halfway through A Storm of Swords just this weekend. It's amazing how quick this goes by when I have bodaciously nothing else to do. Now watch as it takes me another two weeks to finish.

Just finished reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell".
This was a very, very good book ... And now I want more, but there's no continuation.

Just finished re-reading The Allow of Law. Perhaps my favourite Brandon Sanderson book.

Eh, Alloy was a bit lacking to me compared to the very first Mistborn book. It was nice seeing nods to the heroes of the original trilogy, but the atmosphere was noticeably different.

You should check out Way of Kings if you haven't though. Might change your favorite again.

In two days it will be my birthday and I look forward to receiving not only all the Discworld books my collection lacks, but also a new eReader to read the rest of Brandon Sanderson's work on.

I really enjoyed the Allow of Law because it works with the universe presented in the Mistborn trilogy in an entirely new setting, with characters I just immensely enjoyed. I could easily read more books about Waxillium and Wayne having adventures together, backed up by Marasi. It's detective fantasy western enjoyment.

Nothing better than having books spoiled by the show that's based on it. I suppose having an actor in place means they couldn't really hide Barristan Selmy's identity in the show, but shit if they hadn't said his name I wouldn't now know the identity of "Whitebeard."

For those curious, I read about the scene where Daenerys buys her Unsullied army and just had to see it, so I looked up the scene from the show. I figured since I had already read about it I couldn't be spoiled, but then they called the guy I knew as Whitebeard, Ser Barristan. I guess the Bold decided to follow Ser Jorah's example.

Makes it even funnier that in the book Jorah is super distrustful of this weird guy because he is obviously more skilled than a simple squire should be.





Hey guys, guess where I'm almost at.

I'll give you a hint.

So I read Games of Throne while on vacation, was alright. Is it weird that I was more upset about Khal Drogo and Rhaego dying than Eddard Stark?
