If Peace talks was published as a serial, like a lot of books used to be in the past, we could discuss every chapter here and reread them in all detail. It would be a lot of fun.

Not sure on the rest but we got a chapter 40 update. It was only about 3 days before the chapter 41 update however so not many people noticed.

That really would be amazing! Though I would not want to force those kinds of deadlines that the serials in the past had. If a chapter needs a few extra days to be right I am OK with that. I think Stephan King tried something semi like that at one point with just asking people to pay. I do not remember the details however as I have never been a huge fan of reading horror. Though I did really enjoy the movie based on Misery.

Also, they have to keep track of all the different versions of history they've read. It's easy for us to spot continuity errors like e.g. Anna Valmont telling the "wrong" story in Skin Game of how she first got involved with Nicodemus, because we only read one version of Death Masks. For the beta readers it's probably harder, and for Jim himself keeping track of what "actually" happened must be a nightmare.
