Mar. 6th, 2006 06:14 pmso I read The Family Trade last night.
and I thiught I was all clever because I popped my head up on page 117 and said, now I know why the book opened that way! it's because ( spoiler )
and then I get to page 137 and i sarcastically congratluate myself on keeping up with the obvious, since
autopope basically says as much right there.
so, sulking, I have a shower with the sauna turned on. and as I'm going into the sauna (to continue reading the book,) I think to myself Oh! but wait! That probably means that...
no, if I'm right, and it has not yet been revealed, then it's too, too much of a spoiler to reveal what I thunk just there.
But I will be all smug and "i told you so" if I'm right.
even if I didn't tell you so.
because I worried that it would spoil the surprise.
because if I'm right it won't happen until the end of the second book, which i have not yet read. Maybe even the third.
I think i'm pulling a connie willis, if I may toot my own horn. soon I will cease to be surprised by anything. but you know what? it's not *bad.* it doesn't wreck it for me.
and oh yeah BOOOOOOOO to the cliffhanger! I know it's not
autopope's fault, but seriously, boo boo boo boo boo. that's totally not right boo.
