red snow Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Why is White Luck Warrior not released in Australia yet? Do you hate me?why aren't these kind of questions ASKED IN CAPITALS?I'm finding it hard to resist the spoiler thread but i'm managing to hold up. The UK edition better turn up on the release date! The reviews are looking pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokisnow Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 not a WLW spoiler because I haven't read it.Cimoira was the daughter of the human Sirwatta and an unnamed Nonman woman. Cimoira was raised as nonman, not human, and is one of only two known nonman/human children. The other child being Anasurimbor Sanna-Jephara.http://princeofnothing.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Mongoose Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Dispatched! Dispatched! Oh, book depository, how I love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokisnow Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It's on hold for me at Borders less than a mile from my office!B&N may not be going out of business, but they didn't bother to stock this title on release date, even at the B&Ns with well curated Scifi/Fan sections. The only B&N with the title in stock in the greater Los Angeles Area is in Redlands, which is more than 80 miles from Venice. I think I was only able to find TJE on release day at Borders as well, though then there were a lot more Borders to choose from.Dammit Bakker, Overlook is unacceptable. They need to be plyed.

Humble Asskicker Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Man, I am annoyed. The only local peddler of newly released books in town (Waldenbooks, a subsidiary of Boarders) does not have the book in stock. Furthermore, it doesn't seem like they intend to anytime soon. But it's bad enough I had to resort to them. Imagine how royally fucked my day became when I discovered that I couldn't download this to my Nook. Fucking hell. Fortunately, I signed up for a free month of Amazon Prime, which reduced first class shipping to four dollars. I plan on canceling Prime tomorrow when I have the book in hand.

Kalbear Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Another question for the author:FanimryUnlike the gnosis or anagnosis, Psukhe seems to have come from humans directly (instead of Nonmen). Did the nonmen ever have anything to do with Psukhe? Did humans prior to Fane have anything to do with Psukhe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhadamanth Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I love you Amazon for sending me this gift on release day. I wish release day was a couple weeks earlier but still, I appreciate it. 30 pages in... back to the slog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantabile Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Dammit Bakker, Overlook is unacceptable. They need to be plyed.Amen. Surely this series is popular enough by now to warrant switching to a better U.S. publisher? It would help tremendously with his sales, I'm sure.

Galactus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Another question:How do you properly pronounce "Psukhe?"Is is similar to how Bill Compton says "Sookie" in True Blood?Pat, I think you will agree that is is the most important question that you could ask Mr. Bakker. I challenge Larry to come up with a better one.I always just pronounced it "Psyche", the word it's obviously inspired by :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jurble Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I always pronounced it as Soo-khee (kh making the sound it does in Arabic). I ignore the initial P, but it's just as easy to pronounce it, I suppose. Psoo-khee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantabile Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I've always gone with "Psoo-khee" as well. I regret to say that I don't think I'll be able to read this novel for another few months :( Hopefully you'll all still be eager to discuss it after I've finished. Though since we seem to always have multiple Bakker threads going years after the books get published even, I don't think I have much to worry about.

Cantabile Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't know how he even possibly considered that original Horns of Reallyfuckinglongweirdfantasyword title. Apparently there's a fine line btween prose skills and title skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurble Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Oh another question for Bakker:Is Aurang special amongst the Inchoroi in his ability to use Sorcery? Or were all Inchoroi, his brother included, amongst the Few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantabile Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Do we know for certain he does use sorcery? I can't recall, but I remember interpreting their abilities as technological advancements, as I figured that sorcery-being a part of the whole religion of that planet-was confined to the species of that planet, so no sorcery for aliens.
