Next weekend sounds good to me to. I hope you are doing alright Meriadoc. I've really enjoyed what I've read so far, though I'm only about 120 pages in. His writing style is terse, but extremely vivid. I've never read violence, cruelty and harshness written in such a matter-of-fact way. It's this matter-of-factness that really gives the reader an idea of the times in which the story takes place. I look forward to discussing more with the group. edit: cW you should read this and we can discuss it in person this weekend. -Olive too.
