I recently bought A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin & The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason.
I have to await the arrival of Martin's book by mail, and will start "Rule" tonight. I've all ready seen a few cracks on the book listed in the forum and wondered what faults they found in it.
A partial quote from Nelson Demille, on the back cover reads... "If Scott Fitzgerald, Umberto Eco, and Dan Brown teamed up to write a novel, the result would be The Rule of Four" . That's not why I bought it, but it's a provocative tease.

I had a snigger at that quote on the back too. Putting the Scott Fitzgerald and Eco in the same sentence as that other guy.
I've got the book but I'm not going to read it until I've read my copy of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. I don't expect much from The Rule of Four - I just hope that it's well written and plotted.

You know, on a guitar forum I used to frequent, the owner particularly hated a certain brand of guitar. Personally I think they just rocked too hard for him to handle. 
Anyhoo, he really hated people mentioning these guitars, so he put the name into the swear filter. It would be unfortunate for anyone whose name is Dan, and hampering to discussions involving poo and chocolate, but I propose 'Dan Brown' be treated as a dirty word and henceforth be refered to only as *** *****.

On a side note to follow along with the actual thread.....Just purchased Galapagos and am looking forward to cracking it open tonight. I read Slaughter House Five straight through a couple of days ago after falling in love with Vonnegut's writing. However, I do think that there was room for my interest if the book was based on a different topic, so I can't wait to read some of his others. Here I goooooo..............
Just for a test, I did not buy a book by $#* %&@*#.
