Many ifs. If it's good and when I scabby the first 8 or so pages from waterstones, then yes I shall buy it.

I will be buying it when it hits the shelves over here, but I think I'll pass on preordering it. I've got other things I'm concentrating on spending my cash on, so yeah, I'll just buy it when its available on shelves. Should be good though, I'm looking forward to it.
Seriously, don't read Desperation. I would actually sooner re-watch Mick Garris's version of The Shining than read Desperation. Ooh, I'd also rather re-watch just the stupid, hackneyed Jack Nicholson goes crazy scenes in the original film of The Shining-- that is the film with all the good parts taken out-- than read Desperation.Assassin Xaero said:
WWZ is good, but it gets too bound up in "The military is the only thing that will ever save us in the event of a zombie attack, and only the Americans will do it with a great deal of success", which is a little too right-wing for my tastes. The Zombie Survival Guide is a little less militaristic, and is good in total, but advocates that it's okay to light zombies on fire, which is a no-no. Because then all you have is a flaming zombie STILL COMING TOWARDS YOU.
'Salem's Lot is really, really good. Stephen King in his early days was able to do Gothic novels set in modern day and he was able to do it better than most, if not all.
So: TL;DR and in order: Good but not completely, Good but right-wing, Absolutely fantastic, and utter trash not worth the energy it'd take to pick up.
And finally, yeah, I'm buying Yahtzee's book but not yet. Maybe after I move.
Well 99% of books won't top Tolkien or the Dark Tower so what's the point of anyone ever writing a book?Subzerowings said:
Plus, that show you like so much? He writes it so he's obviously a fairly good writer.
OT: I might buy it, I know someone else who is getting it so I'll wait to hear if it's any good.
I'd probably wait and see closer the time and flick through it if I can find it in a book shop. Get a feel for the writing style and whatnot.
I'd first want to let it come out, and see what people think of it. I had a read of some his his past written work, which looked okay, but I'm going to sit on the fence about this one for a while.
I'll wait for the reviews. While I enjoy Zero Punctuation (and usually Extra Punctuation, too), I remember some of his stories he used to put up on Fullyramblomatic. Hemingway he isn't. But I'll give Mogworld a chance if it gets good reviews, I don't have any reading planned for August/September anyway...
No, I don't like reading, unless I have to, i.e. RPG games. Reading books in my eyes, is boring, I don't mind manga's they are simple & have pictures to keep my small attention span occupide.
pre-ordered.
1) can't really go wrong with a 7? book.
2) is about the thing i'd usually read (will go right next to Nietzsche and Plato 8) )
3) it's cheaper than the lottery, and more likely that i'll be happy with the outcome
btw, pre-order saves me a whole of 0,39?, hooray
