Deadhouse Gates - Steven Erikson

[Chris , cookie guilt]

No rush to start, but here's a thread for this book. These things are too big and full of questions (and wtfery) to be contained in a single thread. So here's book 2....

I wasn't planning to re-read this, but I did find an audio version. I can slip that in when I'm driving or doing workish stuff.

I'm not ready to start just yet, but I thought some of you might be. So have at it.

I wasn't that bothered about re-reading Gardens of the Moon when the group read was happening but I'd be keen to get involved in a buddy read of this if others want to do that.

Thanks for setting up the thread Chris!

I think I'll start this soonish. I'm not captivated by anything I'm reading right now.

Great! I won't leave you hanging. I'd like to finish my audio of Oliver Twist, but however I'll do that I'll join in discussion. Tor.com has some great chapter summaries on each book. I'll provide that link when I'm on a computer that doesn't block it. Heh

I'm bailing here. Falling further and further behind on everything so I'm dumping the 1000 page tome I've already read.

And this narrator moves about as fast as a loan underwriter. 5 hours in and barely 3 chapters finished. The purge begins here.

I'll just go to tor.com and read the chapter summaries.

LOL That's why I like my audible app - I can speed it up to 2 or 3x. :D

I haven't even started yet!!

I'm so freaking behind! I feel guilty when I think about starting it when I have SO MANY monthly reads unread...

THAT'S how you do that. Damn. All that time I wasted trying to find that setting on the damn audio player.

Don't feel bad, MrsJ. The only group reads I'm caught up on are those I read years ago.

I'll still discuss DHG with y'all that read it. I just need a refresher from tor.com, not a full on re-read. I just thought I'd try the audio since I stumbled on it.

There are sometimes speed options on the player, but they aren't the same. The app speeds it up but doesn't change the sound quality (it doesn't sound like a chipmunk is reading it, I mean).

If you use Windows Media Player, there's a playback speed option, but it's hit and miss with how it sounds.

I don't know what I use. I mean, it's just the player on the iphone.

You could try this, if you don't have audible: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speed...

Hmmm, no...my phone doesn't have that "ipod" setting.

[Becky]

Oh, dang. sorry.

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Not your fault. Apple probably updated the software a dozen times so it isn't in that spot anymore.
