I'll probably amazon it next week. Gotta try to finish the Blade Itself first.

I'll try to come up with some good suggestions hereafter, too.

In the middle of another book right now, but thanks for putting it on my radar. The premise sounds intriguing.

General word of advice to anyone reading: best to go into this book not knowing too much. Jacket notes / general description obviously aren't going to give anything away, but beyond that there's some very fun stuff that you don't wanna spoil.

Alright, I'm getting stoked to read it again. Good thing I've got enough time to finish The Nix, which has been great but I've been lazily picking away at it for a couple months.

I can't believe the Kindle edition of this book is so expensive. Shit is suppose to be more affordable. I'll have to buy the actual book now.

I've got to finish a book here, but I'll be able to do that and move on. I've never read anything I didn't have a desire to read, so this will be interesting.

I used a christmas gift card to get the Kindle version last night. Gotta finish reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavelier and Clay, I've been lazily reading this book for a while now....

One of my all time favorites. It's pretty fucking long though, for sure :D

I'm totally down for this, but I may have to wait till the next one cause I'm writing a thesis. Anyone read Walter Moers? City of Dreaming Books is amazing.

...or change your thesis to incorporate this book.

Yeah. Just read this one without reading anything about if before. Great book. I usually really like China Mieville's stuff, smart and well written.

Just one thing for The city and the city : it's supposed to be weird/sometimes hard to understand at the beginning. It's part of the book and is not a gimmick.

Obviously I already read this one but I.m probably in for the next one...
