What book are you just totally hanging out for?

They're the same size as hardcovers, and as easy to damage as paperbacks.

But OTOH, they are the same size as hardcovers, yet weigh half as much. Much better to carry around in a backpack.

Well this thread could be very beneficial for the careful reader. I for one learned the the Dark Tower series should be added to my reading list, but not until it is finished. Readers new to RJ and GRRM should be leary and realize it could be 10 years before those series wrap up. Harry Potter books tie up most of the loose ends in each book, so they are more friendly and don't require as much re-reading.

I just wished someone would've told *me* that.

Interesting how many of you are waiting for the next book in a series...

Well, duh. I mean, there's a bunch of stuff I'm interested in, Neil Gaiman's newest book, the next Terry Prachett, etc., but the stuff one's really
hanging out for, that's the stuff you're waiting to find out what happens
next. The unfinished tales.

Except that I'm probably mor excited about the new Iain M Banks than about anything else, and that's not even set in his standard world/universe. So while I understand why people want the next book in the trilogy or what ever, that doesn't automatically mean that the books people are most excited about are the serialised ones.

Not to mention unweildly to hold whilst reading.

Salvatore's The Two Swords - Last book of the Hunter's Blades Trilogy.

I'd be looking forward to this too if I'd already read "Lone Drow" which I haven't even though I've had it for nearly a year in hardcover.

Give it a read. It did not suck. Fun popcorn book and one of the best Drizzt books in quite some time. Many of the books before this trilogy starring him were par at best, IMO.

Like a lot of you I too am waiting for A Feast for Crows by GRRM. Keep going to www.georgerrmartin.com for updates on AFfC.

Also I'm waiting for any new Deryni novel by Katherine Kurtz. Deryni Rising was just released in a revised edition.

I wish the bookstores down here would get Deryni Rising in. I am also looking forward to the Deryni book as well as the next Harry Potter.

Hey ... just so you know Katherine Kurtz does chat in her own channel on the same chat server that host's EN World.

IMO, trade paperbacks have none of the durability of hardcovers, and they aren't cheap as dirt like mass market paperbacks. Kind of an unhappy medium for me.
