Just kidding. I didn't like it enough to pick it up when it fell off the internet. But I know you guys who have read it really enjoyed it. To me, it felt like they were given a list of 40 or 50 plots points out of a hundred or so and told they could hit half off the list of 40-50. Almost like a Cliff's Notes version of the outline.

I've tried reading the book, several times. It is not (at least for me) an easy read. I wish I could get as enthused about it as you guys obviously are, but the spark just is not there.

Since you mentioned reading, and I can't help myself, I am going to recommend the Wool series by Hugh Howey again. I know I've done it in the books thread, but I like it so much I can't pass up the opportunity to mention it again.

And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Great price, but I wasn't overly impressed with the second season.

Yeah, we're not getting it either.  I just wanted to relay it to the board in case some people did.

And be careful, that boxset might be a bootleg.

It's nice here with a view of the trees
Eating with a spoon?
They don't give you knives?
'Spect you watch those trees
Blowing in the breeze
We want to see you lead a normal life

Fry's is offering this for $25, so it may be worth the trouble to try to get Amazon to price match -- even if its already shipped.

I already got an email from Amazon saying they are crediting me $5 for the price difference since I pre-ordered (at $34.99). I'm happy with that.
