    Oh nice hidden Kotor and Knight Errant references at the start of Chapter 14 :)

    Edit:

    Okay that is just all kinds of cruel.... [face_plain]

    It's all in like the first few months Obi-Wan sets-up on Tatooine. Way before Dark Lord.

    Who is the antagonist? Did Maul show up? I have to make sure before purchase it.

    Okay this is just twice as funny because it is basically spot on. [face_tee_hee]

    Oh, I see! Well, the joke was completely lost on me anyway as I don't think I have ever been in a Borders!

    Yes. I sat with my jaw open for awhile.

    I have a blog post scheduled for next Tuesday delving into the repercussions of that reveal.

    K-K-K-Kindle. (Or in my case, the Kindle app on my iPad.)

    I know some of you prefer real books, but since Border's put all the locals out of business and then went belly-up, I've been e-book all the way. I waited approximately 7.5 seconds for my book to download. :cool:

    Sneak preview from Friday's roundtable:

    And the A'Yark twist, of course, is something I don't believe has ever even been attempted in SW---and will be informing my conversations about gender representation in the GFFA for a very long time.

    You should have seen the time I picked up the last Harry Potter book at a midnight sale and didn't sleep until I finished reading. Though outside of a book like this, I don't have the stamina for that kind of reading session anymore.

    And yeah, really liked the KotOR and KE references. Arguably could be an author just drawing on their own universe, but few Star Wars authors have works spanning thousands of years of Star Wars history, so I don't mind (and I just like both series).

    I did the same thing. Got Deathly Hallows at 1 AM after waiting for hours and pulled an all nighter reading it.

    I have never pulled an all nighter for a book, I only do that for video games, but I read Order of the Phoenix and The Deathly Hallows in like a day when I got each of them.

    Nah. I'll need a pick-me-up when I'm done with it. I don't want to stop halfway, read a pick-me-up, and then go back to reading the bad. I'll just read LOTF faster. :p
