... who's hovering over his kindle to see when "The Dark At The End" gets transmitted wirelessly?

I just finished the revised Reborn (went back and picked it up after reading ahead on the timeline), and I recognized a familiar list in the back - The Secret History list. After the "Dat Tay Vao" mention at the end of the revised Reborn, I saw the triple asterisk indicating that it was included in the reissued version of The Touch.

I was under the impression that the reissue of Nightworld would be a must-have, and the rest of the Adversary revisions were fairly minor, fixes on dates and technology issues. So.. crap. I just bought the old version of The Touch last week. How much of this about Dat Tay Vao am I going to miss out on? How necessary is it to buy this book yet again to get the revised content?

To be quite honest with you all, I read Sibs last week because it was on the Secret History list and it barely touched on anything RJ or Adversary other than a few mentions of places and events. I'm in the meat and potatoes of the thing now and Sibs was a decided slowing of forward progression. Don't get me wrong, it's the kind of book that I really enjoy, but I'm pretty sure that from here on out, I'll be all RJ/Adversary according to the timeline until I've exhausted everything, and then I'll pick up the peripheral books at random while I wait for the final revision of Nightworld.

I'm tired of receiving broken and scratched DVDs and I'm thinking of switching to a different service. Over the last 2 months about every other DVD I get in the mail has been scratched or outright cracked in half and the scratched ones always freeze up. Last night we were trying to watch Inglorious Basterds and about half way throw it locked up so bad and skipped that I said "fuck it" and turned it off. I know its not my player because not one of my DVDs ever skips (because I take care of my things). And its seems to have gotten alot worse since I moved here. So maybe its the distribution center not checking on or refurbishing the DVDs, I don't know.

I also want to know how the fuck people (consumers) manage to fuck up and scratch DVDs so bad. I mean you'd swear some people rub the DVDs in fucking kitty litter before returning them. Another reason to add to my list of why I hate people.

So is Blockbuster any better? I don't do streaming media because I don't want to have to pay for another modem in my house.

Hey folks!

Nightworld spoiler! Do go any farther if you haven't read it yet!




Jack's uncle is referenced in one of the LaNague Federation stories. Since that places the LaNague Federation in the Adversary universe, would Glaeken be roaming around during these stories?

Just a thought! Whaddaya think?

...because it's devoted to ME. (Well, not me, exactly, but to my work.) Until the Compendium comes out, if you've got a question about one of my books, go here.

wth is this?



Usually, ebook prices like to be up there with hardcover prices ... which is idiotic (I think) but we just have to take it. But this here is very weird.
Sorry for not preordering, but I feel like amazon is trying to rip me off.

Soon as those two prices match (which will still be idiotic, but this is the final RJ we're talking about, here!) I'll press the button!

This is probably the coolest dance ever....EVER!!!!!

Has anyone seen this? I've only seen the second episode and really found it enjoyable. Might be a bit too Big Brother-ish for some folks here though. My mind keeps wanting to make the connection that Michael Emerson is still playing Ben Linus from Lost and this is what he went on to do to protect the island after the show ended.

New to the board, hello everyone! I have been thinking that an HBO 10 episode per season series is the best way to bring Jack beyond the novels.

Certainly a movie of The Tomb could be awesome, but this is not the way to go. Think of having the story of the Tomb spread over 10 episodes while giving time for Jack to work on other fixes and explore the mythology of the universe. This would allow enough time to tell the story without dragging it out like it was on network television.

The budget of HBO would also allow for better special effects, the inclusion of flashbacks, violence, adult language, etc. I think it would be awesome.

I just started Harbingers, btw. Infernal was awesome.

Finally on Netflix. Anyone else see it? I thought it was pretty good, but the trolls looked funny.
