Sambalina Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I just finished the Kindle sample chapters for 1Q84 and I'm intrigued!I'll look into buying the whole thing when I get home from work. I'm a little worried I won't be able to get it electronically, as it said the product wasn't available in NZ (Why an electronic book wouldn't be available in NZ when I'm willing to pay for it?!). I'll try again, maybe with a different version.Apocalyptic Planet's not available until Oct 2nd, right?Yay, excited for NF book club!

kasers Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Ordered 1q84 now. Excited to start reading it. Apocalyptic Planet will have to wait til my next pay day on the 6th and I think I'm going to have to get it shipped over from America so will probs takes about 14 days to arrive. Can only find it on amazon, even waterstones haven't got it to pre-order which is quite weird supposing it's the main high street book store in the UK.

Oogiem Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 If anyone wants me to get a hardcopy of Apocalyptic Planet and have it signed by Craig Childs, I'm going to his kick off lecture & book signing on Tuesday and I'll be glad to buy one and ship it anywhere, cost will be whatever the real cost plus postage is. I can take paypal to pay for it. I'll go ask what the price will be and figure on the cost using flat rate international shipping so it can go anywhere.

Max Power Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 You know, I hadn't been paying attention to Apocalyptic Planet but after reading up on it I realized "hey that smells like geology!

Bean Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 If we go 1 thread per 2-3 chapters, there will be a serious number of threads for just one book. I think it is divided into parts (only read ch1 and 2 last night) and perhaps this might be a better way to segment.Without creating any spoiler - the first two chapters can be read completely independently of each other (I am guessing the two main character threads) so a discussion on that may be interesting but short-lived.
