I know what you mean about it being emotionally draining. I frequently have tears running down my face. So much so that my family think I'm a bit touched...and you ought to see the looks I get on the train!...But I don't care, I am so in love with the whole world and the characters! (So much so that I have now got the money together for Night of Knives! Can't wait.)

I have to force myself to read other books during my seemingly permamnent rereads. I described rereading them to a friend the other day as a guilty pleasure. I know that there are other books out there I should be reading, so I do feel guilty everytime I pick up MoI or DG et al (Coltaine/Squint, my poor, poor Squint). Sorry, that happens quite a lot these days...must...go...and...lie ...down...in ...a ...dark room...

There is a mass release of Night of Knives now schedualed for 2007. It'll still be expensive, but not as dear as it is at the moment.
