^ good info Orlok, thanks for heads-up. Will try and remember to ping you and tell you what I think.
@DiapDealer: re: giving up on multi-volume stories. I hear ya. With the notable exception of Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire, I normally
do not read series-type books that are not "completed"...I simply do not have the patience to wait so I will acquire all the books and then consume them one after the other.
OT, but for me exactly the reason why I cannot watch episodic TV [or actually, TV in general], "24" being a perfect example. I will not watch any weekly episodes, preferring instead to wait until the season is over and the DVDs are released. Then, I abscond back to my man-cave, shut off my cell phone and BB, whip out the take out menus and proceed to watch the entire season all in one weekend.
I have done that for 7 of the 8 seasons of 24.
Of course, now I have broken my own protocol with HBO's Game of Thrones adaption.
