*scratching head

I was up at 5.30am this morning and I was still aboard the ship. Wasn't feeling well so just did a quick scan of the message boards thinking I could do my cases a little later today.

I had mistakenly assumed I still had a few hours aboard to finish those cases and favours, aiming for a look at the cargo hold but now I find that the days are timed different aboard the ship. Is there a definite timetable somewhere that will tell me what times the ship leaves and docks because I just thought it went on the same clock as the game server?

lol sorry I have to comment... I started reading Wheel of time when it first came out, I still have the original paperback from 1990? and I gave up about oh 6 books in when I got sick of waiting for Robert Jordan to write the next one. Now I've started again nearly *cough* 20 years later and the first book seems better than what I remember. That's probably a good sign. I notice Brandon Sanderson has a touch of the Paolini's not being able to finish in one book but instead splitting the final WoT book into two.

I believe Sanderson's splitting the Memory of Light into THREE books! I think it's a good thing for him and us though (as long as he can keep it at 1-2 year per book, AND finish it within 3 books), otherwise the story will only get rushed. It does take time for a new writer to get into the old story. Personally i think Jordan's style was too descriptive and unnecessarily lengthy (especially for book #6-10), so i do look forward to seeing a new writer at it... (only that he's making it longer than Jordan intended...LOL.)

For me, weird that I'm drawn to Mat's character. Rolling dices and getting lucky (not that I've been lucky in my AVH lately.... 21 repeated clues to find a townie!!!!). Hey, I bet I can sleep in my shirt and play poker all night!!

Well now that I am at #11 I might have to check out some Sanderson at the library to fill in the waiting time. I have 17 books of Eddings. 4 complete series with added extras and they are fabulous. I will probably read them again soon. I am trying to get the King - Gunslinger books at the moment. Do you know how hard they are to come by in the Book Exchange or even at the library. LOL. Might have to put them on my Xmas wishlist. :-)

Has anyone read the Obernewton books? They were pretty good, and a bit like Wheel of Time...

Ooooh, Eddings. Fantastic writer. He writes about food like Jordan writes about clothes, though... I've always wondered about their fascination for those subjects...

LOL, i know i know. With the way Jordan describes about cuttings and color and ruffles (not the chips), he could've been a fashion design back in the old days...

Eddings. Yeah, that's one writer i keep telling myself i will read. So, any suggestions to which series should i go for if i'm only planning to read one series?

LOL. Now just because you popped into a post about the Sleuthetania, you didn't really expect to keep reading about it did you? Besides it is all Breit's fault. She started talking about keelhauling!
