# Ordered a book from Amazon today, expect a dip in my productivity
I remembered that [the <b>11th</b> book in the Wheel of Time series](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/0312873077&link_code=as2&camp=1789&tag=duncanmackenz-20&creative=9325), Knife of Dreams, [<img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0312873077.01._AA_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg" align="right" border="0" />](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/0312873077&link_code=as2&camp=1789&tag=duncanmackenz-20&creative=9325)was coming out sometime in October so I checked for it on Amazon today and it turns out it came out on the 19th. So (despite being fairly busy and having a real problem with reading non-stop through every single book I get the moment it shows up) I ordered it. Maybe I can get it in time for my trip down to [DevConnections in Las Vegas in November](https://www.devconnections.com/shows/aspfall2005/default.asp?s=65), then I can read it on the plane and in the hotel, it would help keep me out of trouble.

Of course, I could leave the book closed and do some **writing** instead of reading. I could work on chapters for my own book project, articles for this site, code for MSDN, or...
