i'm about 2/3 of the way through it and it's fantastic... really loving the characters. just got to the point that Barsavi is marching his way to Echo Hole, so poo's about to get serious

i'm more than likely going to order the second book here shortly so i have it in hand when i'm done with the first

 

Glad to hear it!

Locke and Jean are an epic character duo...

fuging Amazon... they've got a good thing going with their $35+ orders = free shipping.  good for them anyway... not so much for me

 

just pre-ordered The Slow Regard of Silent Things and ordered Red Seas Under Red Skies, The Republic of Thieves, Hyperion and Wool.

lol I am gonna try to get Rebublic of Thieves in the next week or so... I will probably just hit up a Barnes and Noble

 

I thought TSROST was already out?

I hope you like the Wool stuff... I really did.

 

I haven't read the Hyperion stuff though.

Amazon says TSRoST doesn't come out until 10/26 or 10/28... hopefully it's not that long, and now that I think about it, I hope Amazon doesn't hold the other books until that's out to ship them

 

wouldn't that be a bitch?  I just ordered RSURS because I've got less than 100 pages of Lies of Locke Lamora and then they hold on to it until TSRoST comes out... that would probably be my luck lol

Also, I just read that I have been pronouncing Jean's name incorrectly. It's "zhean" like a French accent, not "jeen" like my backwoods Johnston County mental reading voice reads...Totally makes me stumble everytime I am reading it now. Trying to train myself to read it correctly lol.

    • the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.
    • I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...
    • There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
