[This is a repost for folks who weren't on the readalong list when I originally sent it. If you saw that post, you can ignore this one.] Disclaimer: I'm not in charge of this list, and I don't want to be. Some questions: Are we discussing Khaavren books and Brokedown Palace too? How much are we biting off at a time? I like the idea of doing one chapter at a time so we can really delve in and analyse the heck out of eveything, but there's a total of about 250 chapters (including interludes, epilogues, etc) which at one a week would take 5 years, even at one a day it'd take nearly a year. A whole book at a time wouldn't allow too much depth of discussions before moving on. So compromise with a few chapters? And how much time between chunks? What order do we do them? Published, chronological, alphabetical, random, Cycle? For those of you unclear on the exact chronological order [checks for original, dang didn't copy that to this computer, Google, cut, paste, change a word...] ----------------- Dragaera Books Sorted By Chronological Order of Events This is very nearly [1] the closest you can get to the chronological order of events without actually chopping apart individual chapters. [The Khaavren Romances] _The Phoenix Guards_ _Five Hundred Years After_ _The Viscount of Adrilankha_ [not yet published] [Stand Alone Fenarian Book] _Brokedown Palace_ [Mobster Vlad] Prologue of _Jhereg_ (overlaps some flashbacks in _Taltos_) _Taltos_ _Dragon_, skipping Interludes _Yendi_ Interludes from _Dragon_ Rest of _Jhereg_ _Teckla_ _Phoenix_ [Retired Vlad] _Athyra_ _Orca_ [*] _Issola_ "A Dream of Passion" -- I've come to the conclusion that this short story is in fact just a dream that Vlad had sometime after the first couple of chapters in _Dragon_. Read it any time after you've read at least one of the mobster books. ------------ [1] Technically, the Prologues from _Athyra_ and _Orca_ and the Interludes of the latter should be moved to after Chapter 17 of their respective books, but this hurts the flow of the prose without adding anything. ------------ [*] Even if you ignore the rest of this post (due to availability or contrariness) please, Please read as many Vlad books as you can before _Orca_. A certain scene at the end of _Orca_ is the only thing that I believe really Needs spoiler protection. There are a few comments in _Issola_ that might spoil _Orca_, depending on how good you are at guessing. --------------- --KG
