Neal Stephenson’s The Confusion, Volume Two of The Baroque Cycle is going on sale in two weeks. Now I have a dilemma – buy it, wait for the paperback, or just ignore? Considering what I wrote about Quicksiler, “it’s a 900 page tome about a 300 page story”, the rational thing to do would be to wait for the paperback. But since when have I ever been rational about books?

Thankfully I don’t have to worry about such problems.
By the time a book is released in India, paperbacks, hardcovers
and even used versions are all are available š
I am having the same problem with Terry Pratchett’s Monstrous Regiment though. A hardcover version has been lying around in my bookshop for the past few weeks. I have managed to hold myself back till now…
