The Long Earth - countdown

[Who's Wee Dug]

Don't want to add extra encouragemnet in the poo department

pip's missus can listen to the audio book on her Kindle and baby can listen in too.

I would have gotten it from my favorite bookstore, but it closed. Not sure where I'll pick it up yet.

The Long Earth's release date is 1st July in Australia.

And yet, I held a copy in my hands last night.... Random House Australia has sent us some Pratchett books (including TLE) to use as prizes at the Unseen University Convivium next month.

We are being a very well behaved committee and NOT reading The Long Earth now. After all, it would be unfair to the people who eventually win the books. But tell you what, it is bloody hard to resist the temptation....

 

[Tonyblack]

Resistance is futile.

 

[Molokov]

It's easier because they're not at my house. How Peter is going to resist, I'm not sure...

I'm wondering if my store will carry it since i swear i've seen stephen baxter books there before. but we've never had a pratchett book in the entire time the store has been open though.

Go on,go on,go on,go on,go on,go on, you know you want to. :twisted:

My sister's going to London beginning of July so I'll ask her to bring me back a copy of Long Earth and Where's my Poo

She'll have better luck looking for "The World of Poo."

A review - apparently it contains SPOILERS, so I haven't actually read the review.

 

[pip]

Read the first paragraph or so of the review before the spoiler notice and it seems quite positive.

 

[Tonyblack]

I did the same. I steer well clear of spoilers or previews etc. I want the book as a fresh experience when I read it.

Don't listen to Pooh then

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I read it all the way through, a bit of a speed read by the time I get it and finish what I'm reading I wont remember that much ,never do when I speed read.

 

[raptornx01]

Hmmm just noticed our release date is june 19th. odd that, would have thought we'd get it later then y'all.

This spoiler free article in The Independent is about how Terry and Stephen met and came to collaborate on Long Earth.

How We Met.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Very interesting article - I'm wildly interested to see they're as good at collaborating as Terry and Neil were

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Thanks for putting that up Tony, interesting article, talking about pubs I'm now off for a pint.
