Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Discussion/Appreciation Anyone..??
I just found it while searching for books. It said something like 'this book is eligible for the 4 for 3 sale' and I clicked on the link. Here is a direct link and just do a search for what you want. It's only books under $10 though.
The prologue, you mean? I was under the impression that only Jordan's notes had been released (at one of the conventions), not the actual chapter itself. Either way, it's supposed to be epic, and from the descriptions of those that were in attendance, it is.

Nope, the prologue will be released sept. 17. I posted the link for the first chapter in the WoT thread.

I see. I also see that it wasn't properly named.
I do not plan to read out of order, so I suppose I'll be waiting for the prologue, though I'm not sure I'll even read that in advance. The description itself gave me goosebumps; after reading it, in all its glory, I'm not sure I'd sleep until the novel was released.
WOT is an unbelievably addicting series to read. I remember staying home from school for almost two weeks in middle school so I could read books 1-6 (all there was at the time). I have read each book within two days of release since. It is such a tragedy we'll never see the series as Jordan intended, but Sanderson will do well.
Dimmed light illuminates wearily a thousand skyscrapers of concrete, glass, shattered imaginations and severed dreams. Urban structures of brick and steel extend tendrils of decay and neglect into an aging embrace of irreverence, moving forward into synthetic joy.
I'm still dying for GRRM to finish A Dance with Dragons. But in the meantime, 'And Another Thing' is coming out in less than a month, so I have to read all of the hitchhiker's trilogy before that.
.../listens to gasps of shock from people that somehow hadn't heard THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW HITCHHIKERS BOOK EVEN THOUGH ADAMS IS DEAD!
Spoiler:
I actually think this is a good thing: the guy that' doing it, Eoin Colfer, is fantastic

And I am now hooked on transmetropolitan like nothing else in existence.
I also need to read Diamond Age and Ghost in the Shell 1.5
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering-Yoda
The more bizzare a thing, the less mysterious it proves to be-Sherlock Holmes
I reject your reality and substitute my own-Adam Savage
A person is smart. People are stupid, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it-Agent Kay
That is the exploration that awaits you�not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence-Q Church: I learned a very valuable lesson in my travels, Tucker. No matter how bad things might seem... Caboose: They could be worse? Church: Nope, no matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things f***ing are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit-yer-b****ing.
If you smoke, you choke. If you choke, you're dead. 'Nuff said.
