    Speaking of AMoL, anyone know which bookshops will have it on Tuesday to sell? I'm particularly interested in Dublin city centre ones :)

    My 2 local ones don't have it or know when they will get it. One was Easons and they couldn't find it on their system.

    Seems sensible to me. Will we be doing spoiler tags or just let it all out?

    Spoiler tags because people will read it at a different pace.
    Handily there's only the one edition we'll all be reading (I doubt anyone will have the US one) so preface the spoiler by saying what chapter or page you're on.

    Please obey the spoiler tags because I don't want to have to come in and edit spoilers for parts I'll probably not have read myself. I will bring balefire down on the ass of anyone who spoils! :D

    On Android I'm pretty sure you just tap on it and it displays.

    I went into easons today and they weren't sure if they were going to have it on Tuesday. Something to do with their supplier still being behind after Christmas.

    Now need to decide if I'm going to take Tuesday off work to read it or now.

    Blood and ashes! Assuming they're different pages, just say what chapter you're on if you're discussing it!

    Edit: Both editions appear to be 912 pages long, going by Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk's page count.

    For iPhone, I end up copying the paragraph and pasting it into Notes each time, but if there's an easier way to work it, I'm all ears!

    It's bit late now that I own one of the things, isn't it, though? :>

    Anyway, to keep on topic, have yis all seen this other pre-released teaser? It's a section of chapter 11(?), read at your own risk of spoilers: http://www.npr.org/2012/12/29/168075551/exclusive-first-read-a-memory-of-light-by-robert-jordan-and-brandon-sanderson

    Read that and I'm stuck with one as well.
    Tis a bit worrying at the lack o progress with that snippet. How long has it been since Taim said 'Let The Lord of Chaos rule.'? Very little has happened since.

    Don't worry about it, I won't be reading it on release anyways.

    O'Mahonys are getting in 70 copies and should have them by Tuesday. Easons all over seem to be useless.

    Yeah just rang them in limk, booked it but they're still not sure if it will be in tommorrow.

    As for taim, that's been going on for ages alright, even before that line pretty much at the start of winters heart
    you find out that from the ashaman in far madding that Taim ordered Rands assasination attempt

    I usually click on quote and it shows the text, annoying but as not as annoying as using notes.

    That's very strange. It works for me.

    Wait, are you using the touch.boards.ie version of the website?
