Added The Black Company because (view spoiler)[he's pretty like Darth Vader (hide spoiler)]

Great whiteboard!

[David(LA,CA)]

I've been pestering Barnes and Noble for an ebook version of The Black Company for at least a month now. Well, Chronicles of The Black Company actually, since it's all three books of the first series.

Has that ever worked for anyone? Or should I just break down and buy the dead tree version?

I doubt the retailer or distributor has any influence over that. You'd probably get better results hounding the current publisher or the author/author's agent directly.

Really great shows. Fantastic whiteboard P. Aaron!
Questionable sidestep Mr. Whitta, but good interview so it balances out.

[Tamahome]

I agree with Mr Whitta, more graphic novel coverage. At least announce when the next Locke & Key volume comes out. It's a visual show right? ^_^

Now I have to watch Book of Eli.

[Kris]

Gary Whitta is pretty awesome! I really enjoyed listening to him talk and I liked his take on writing. Totaly agree on The Black Company best sword books focus on a military theme ever...Fun show though Tom needs to do less shots for the into.

[Kris]

Watched the wrap up and though i didn't read this book always enjoy V and T talking about the book. Tom love the t shirt and I see that some one remembered the duality of the club by replacing one of the doors with a wood door instead of a space ship door. LTS

I think I need to bump up The Black Company on my to-read list.

Well I've already declared September Abercrombie month for my other reading. So I'll have to set aside another month as Black Company month. Sometime after Brandon Sanderson Month probably. I never had to make so many conflicting decisions before I joined this group.

The best thing about the movie is the twist. It's a The Sixth Sense / Fight Club kind of twist and should not be spoiled since without it the movie is more or less average.
I think I must have misheard, somebody asked for more Youtube comments... http://xkcd.com/202/

[Kevin]

I love the Black Company. I think in many aspects Cook was ahead of his time with the series.

You mean like it was spoiled in the show?

Best youtube comment evar (on Eric Clapton playing Cocaine live in the 70s): "Im 15 and i just wanted to apologize for what my generation did to music."

They give away the twist in the first question without advance warning.
