The Collectible Dan Simmons

Ari
Bob is correct, two have been on ebay,
One went for $122, the second went for $102.
Should have set the sniper up, but erroneously thought I would be online for the auctions conclusion.
If you end up with two, let me know.

I received my ARC last night. Look forward to reading it -- 662 pages!

Good. Maybe more will start to show up on eBay and ABE. Simmons' ARC's typically don't sell for real high prices and it has been surprising to me to see the first couple on the market sell for over $100. Patience! (not my strongest quality).

My wife was in hospital and I read it while I was sitting in the room with her. It was dark, so I had to read out of a crack of light coming through the edge of the curtains.

Got it a few minutes ago:

Now that I'm into this book, I don't know what the novel excerpt from the World Horror souvenir book is from. It doesn't feel like this book at all.

[biomieg]

I'm looking forward to reading that book! It's going to be a fun time, with Doctor Sleep coming out first and then this. I hope you'll enjoy it, John (I assume you're going to read it).

[jhanic]

Of course! I'll be starting it tonight.

Maybe it's from that book he reads from in that video I posted a couple of months ago. The Fifth Heart, I think.

If you have a second I'd love to hear what you think of this book. My wife is very excited for it.

[Bev Vincent]

I'm about 200 pages into it. Lots of mountain climbing!

[jhanic]

I'm about the same distance into it and there sure is a lot of information about mountain climbing. I'm also enjoying the political climate that seems to be influencing the story.

John

[mikeC]

Ha! If it has learning AND horror in it I'm sure she'll like it. thanks for replies.

[jhanic]

I finished The Abominable this morning. I have to say the ending(s) took me by surprise. A worthy read.

Enjoying it though.

The book was not at all about what I expected. I liked it a lot.

[carlosdetweiller]

Interesting. What is it? A UK promo item?
