Right, got the thing read. When does the guff talking start? Not a bad choice from Kev, there's a few things that can be discussed in that probs. A few thing I liked, a few thing I didn't like etc etc.
I'm guessing we don't crack into the guff talk straight away as it'll spoil things for those reading it the now. Do we all go go go power rangers at the start of the month or wot, wots the gig?

I just got this for £2.76 from Amazon, hopefully it will arrive just as I finish the book I'm currently reading.
I still have about 20 penguin classics to read too!

can we please specify how many pages the book has before i go out and buy it?
if it's more than 46(front and back) and has no pictures in it i'm out.
let me know when we get to something where you have to kill dragons and go from page 6 to page 212 in one go!

This one is pretty hefty, ~120,000 words. A typical novel size is ~50,000 words |

Mine arrived yesterday,looks like it got dropped in a moat or something... still readable though.
When are we aiming to have the book read?
