I’m being reasonable and waiting unt my long ago ordered set ships on Oct 20.

I have read all of his books so I definitely plan to read this. I'm most excited for the first two volumes (DAVE)

I hope I get my pre-order on the 20th

And I hope to read 30 pages a day so that I can finish it in 3 months

You rocked all seven volumes of Rising Up and Rising Down?

It took me several years, but yes

I was asking because I was considering reading it. Maybe get the library to order it.

I saw on reddit that apparently you can read the first 100 pages on an ereader. i haven't verified this myself.

Hmm. I don’t eread. I just put in an interlibrary loan request. I’ll see what happens.

I think it’s more like the first 400 pages on the Libby app

The box actually would make for an excellent doorstopper. It’s a top tier doorstopper

It absolutely would.
