  1. Let's read On Stranger Tides together, new chapter every week! * New chapters unlock Thursdays * Treat later chapters as spoilers, in case you already know the book * Reading is not mandatory to participate in the discussion, as long as it's on topic Everone who joins late can just catch up to the current chapter. Prologue and first chapter are unlocked Thursday, Feb. 2. Original Post: Mojole recently featured On Stranger Tides, a book that notably influenced Monkey Island. Many here may have read it, some may never have but were interested. I'm in the camp of those who have read it a long time ago and forgot a lot of it again. I thought it might be fun to have some sort of a book club where a few of us come together and enjoy the book chapter by chapter, as if it were an episodic series. For example: every week a new chapter is "unlocked", we can discuss, speculate, draw parallels to MI and try to treat the rest of the book as spoilers within the thread. Basically a new regular activity besides the great Mojole with as little commitment as reading one chapter of a good book per week Would anybody be interested at all, or in a similar concept with another book or game?

  2. I love that you started this! I read it years ago via library, but recently I got my own copy. Someday when I make my pilgrimage to Disneyland, I'm getting a picture of this book and my SMI case next to Lafitte's Anchor.

  3. I just can't wrap my head around the added value of owning a 2023 re-release by a second party. To me, the real value comes from the original boxed copies, they're relics from a bygone era. The value comes from the nostalgia of buying them when they were released, or tracking down a copy and going through the extra hoops to acquire it. Reprinting them and selling them more cheaply, even if they're licensed, to me feels "fake".

  4. Same here. $90 for collector’s edition $40 for shipping and add 25%vat so $163 just for the one. Not worth it
