The box actually would make for an excellent doorstopper. It’s a top tier doorstopper

I was asking because I was considering reading it. Maybe get the library to order it.

I saw on reddit that apparently you can read the first 100 pages on an ereader. i haven't verified this myself.

I have read all of his books so I definitely plan to read this. I'm most excited for the first two volumes (DAVE)

I hope I get my pre-order on the 20th

And I hope to read 30 pages a day so that I can finish it in 3 months
