Well… not exactly. My copy is in route from Louisville and will be waiting for me on my doorstep when I get home. God love Amazon.com.
Who else is completely stoked?
I’ve already informed the missus that she shouldn’t take it personal when I don’t speak or move for a solid four to six hours this evening.
I’ve been trying to shove the last few days into fast forward, and it’s **finally ** here. Something tells me that work is going to drag insufferably today.
Anyway, I’ll be back tonight to post my thoughts on it! Oh, right, I guess we should probably use spoiler boxes in this thread, so there’s a heads-up.
I admit, I’m sorta freaked out by this. We’re talking YEARS of anticipation here. I honestly cannot remember any other book or series that I have been following for this long. After I read this, there aren’t going to be any more DT books to wait for … which seems odd. I’ve been waiting for “the new DT” book since I was in high school, for cryin’ out loud, in the 80s.
830 pages of absolute wonderfulness. I saw the dozens of copies downstairs on my way in to work, and I can’t wait. I contemplated calling in sick today, but I had my fantasy teams to consider (sad that a fantasy team was my sole reason to come to work…)
Alessan, I can’t imagine more encouraging words. I’m so friggin’ excited I can’t stand it.
I’m picking my copy up at lunch. I can’t remember ever having this much anticipation for a book release. Like delphica I feel a bit nervous, but I have confidence that King will finish off the story well.
Yeah, I’m getting mine today too. I’m a little leary about the ‘promise’ in earlier intros that he’s going to tie everything he’s previously written into the rest of the series. I hope he pulls it off, but I’ve still got heartburn over the revised (or was it original?) ending of The Stand.
I’m pissed. Today is the first day of my week on at work, which means I’ll have no time to purchase or read this until next Tuesday. Oh, well. I’d rather wait a week and be able to sit down and read it with no interruptions than try to snatch a few pages here and there around work.
