I finally have my in possession all the books of the Hunger Games trilogy. I am very, very excited about this.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Pity the set is missing Memory...
HA. I mean, that sucks, but you have to appreciate the irony.

You'll hate me more when you finish the second book.
Which is not out till next year. I DO hate you.
(Don't taunt me, I can find out where you live! No, wait-- I'll find out your parent's number and tell them how much you really, RILLY want to go to India and have them find your a bride. Someone biddable and slightly stupid. Who hates books, and thinks TV is the devil.)
Man, I HATE waiting for books to come out. This is why I am always happy to discover a series by an author that is ALL PUBLISHED. It's like bacon-wrapped lit crack.

There was this author that a lot of my high school friends liked a lot, and she was working on a trilogy, but they were all sort of losing their minds waiting for book three to come out, and so I swore up and down that I wasn't reading any of them until they were all out. I finally caved, and book two was much less surprising because I happened to know one of the character's names before I read it (long story) and, uh.... book 2 was published in 1998 so I am not holding my breath for that third book anymore.

No one has a longer drop time between books than Jean Auel. (Yes, i still read about Ayla Sue.)
Except maybe Salinger and Harper Lee.

I'm pretty sure the Cryoburn CD includes "Memory". However, my copy is at a friends so I can't doublecheck. It's sometimes difficult to tell which titles are included, because they made the composite volumes ("Cordelia's Honor" instead of "Shards of Honor" and "Barrayar", etc.) available rather than the individual titles.

Long times between books makes sense to me if the books aren't related, and I suppose I could be way off because I am not a writer, but I assume that if you decide to write a trilogy you have the whole plot planned out in advance, so it shouldn't take 13+ years to write the next installment.
However, I do think she popped onto her own website a few years back to ask if people had particular favorite plots or characters from the first two books because she didn't really remember it much anymore. We were horrified.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Haaaa, that's exactly who I was thinking of too.

Dude, I would read my own books again before I admitted that to my fans. Way to disappoint the people who think more of you than anyone.
