I've read it too, now let's take some bets. Odds on Vyshka finishing the book before EIA is out?[;)]

I have owned the book for years and probably have read it three or four times. Excellent book imo. Certainly a must read if you are interested in the era.

Anatomy of Glory is another good book, al about the Guard!

I bet he finishes the book twice before EiA comes out and reads
War and Peace.
I guess 2 1/2 years of waiting has made me cynical.

Hoche,
As am I (becoming a cynic).
As George Bernard Shaw said "The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it."
Oh well least Knights of the old republic 2 is out for the PC, back to that.[8|]

I read War and Peace in three days. (then again, I read Crime and Punishment in one day). Yes I read fast. I always go back and read them again though. I start reading books like this and can't put them down. (Did the same thing with all of the Tom Clancy Novels and the Harry Potter ones too)

I'll see if I can read War and Peace in Russian before EiA comes out.

Have to put that year spent in
Monterey at DLI to good use.

I'm hoping that it will get released Origins actually. Especially since I will be going this year. [:D]
