DF Spoilers / Re: Any news on Peace Talks

This whole, "he didn't have a writing space because he was living in an apartment" line just reeks of BS.  Surely his publisher could have rented him an office and decorated it in any way he wanted.  Considering the amount of money on the line, I can't imagine they wouldn't do this.

I love Jim's writing. But I hate being bullshitted.  Why do people do it?  Sure, there are some stupid people that will buy this kind of BS, but it just pisses other people off.  Why not just be honest?  Maybe he's sick.  Maybe he's burned out and needed a break.  Maybe he was messed up by the divorce and is now on Cloud 9 due to the marriage, and he just doesn't want to write.  It could be any number of things, but I just cannot believe that it is due to him not having writing space... that's just about the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard.

Maybe he is working on the television series and it's very hush hush and he can't talk about it and as a clue to us, he came up with the dumbest excuse ever, so that we'd know it was fake?

DF Spoilers / Re: Who is the guy with an English accent in the cell at Demonreach?

If it is Merlin, Merlin is a known time traveler (he built demonreach across multiple timelines, right?) so he could probably speak with a modern English accent.

I think that Christ's resurrection was the passing of the mantle of the White God from the Old Testament God to the current White God. 

Perhaps Nick wants to force the passing of the mantle to himself.  Talk about ambitious...

I'm REALLY enjoying the Audiobook as well.  It's my daily walk listening material.  Makes me want to go on those walks, so I can hear the story.

The reader is GREAT!

Susan getting turned and leaving Harry.

(I just got done re-reading Grave Peril.  The "I love you" letter at the end is pretty poignant.)

DF Reference Collection / Re: Discontinuity = clue? [GS sample ch spoilers]

Stu says that ghosts can become unattached to time... maybe Dresden's ghost is in the past.  That would explain why Mort says weird things like, "It’s not enough that you have to keep dragging me into things in life. So now your stupid ghost shows up to do it, too?"  The tense of this is all wrong.  If ghosts can time travel, Mort would know it, so he wouldn't clue Harry in on it.  When did the blizzard hit Chicago during one of the past books?  Was it May?  If so, maybe that is "when" Harry's ghost is at right now.

There is some really weird discontinuities, though, regarding Mort's house.  Harry remembers being killed and saving Maggie and killing Susan BUT he doesn't remember Mort having been bald before or moving to the duplex.  So, if Harry is in the past, he remembers "powerful events" like Maggie and Chichen Itza, but doesn't remember things like Mort?  That doesn't make much sense.

Unless the stuff about Mort's house and lack of hair is an error, which is unlikely, Harry's ghost is in the past and while he remembers some things about right before he died (Maggie and the offing of the Red Court and his apartment getting burned down), he doesn't remember Mort moving.  Nothing else makes sense, but, what I'm saying doesn't make much sense, either!

But if they are in the past, how does Stu know Harry has been dead for 6 months.

This all doesn't make much sense at all.  That's about all I can conclude, LOL.
