I'm riiiight about the point where I usually get my heart ripped out and stomped on so now it's just a matter of waiting.

Yeah, his books have a rhythm like that, don't they (although the flashback strand in Thieves makes it a little different).

My daughter is reading Lies of Locke Lamora right now, and had gotten about 2/3 in. I told her that I thought she could relax and that nobody else (mournable) was dying, but apparently I was wrong XP
