Here you go. Enjoy the journey. There is a whole load of backstory but SOTS is pretty self contained for the first two or three Symphony's

also when reading, if you're thinking "was that who/what I think it was." it most likely is. Your brain will hurt less.

Such a story could easily work - you'd just end up mentally scarred from writing it.

Might be a bit of time before I get to it though. I started reading the Dresden Files about two or three weeks ago, and I'm just starting on book 9 tonight. After that, I have a box set of Lensman novels waiting for me. I'm trying to keep from starting anything new that is more than one book/book equivalent before I finish all those.
Oh, and I need to read the novelization of Metropolis by Monday.

post when you do, please? Hey, I think I'm going at a fairly good pace. I've got a bunch of other stuff on my plate as well, so I can't read all the time, unfortunately.
Anyway, I'll let you know when I hit the end of book 12. I'm about halfway through 9 now, so it shouldn't long. (I started reading about a half hour after my earlier post.)
Edit: About two and a half hours later, book nine complete.

This, combined with my recent reading material, gave me a different idea.
What if Haruhi's the Pillar? I mentioned this one to the fellow who runs the "Being Upfront" website. His reply, in full:

"Consider an iceberg, its every form and aspect." Ok. The order I have listed on the backs of the books is:
- Triplanetary
- First Lensman
- Galactic Patrol
- Grey Lensman
- Second Stage Lensmen
- Children of the Lens
- Masters of the Vortex
What order should I read them in?

3; 4, skipping the prologue; 5, skipping the prologue; 6. Then 1, 2, and 7.

The order you listed is the chronological run of the in-universe timeline. Triplanetary kicks off the series, and the same characters pick up in First Lensmen. Galactic Patrol takes place after a timeskip, and the hero from there continues in Grey Lensman...and so on.
I don't think you'll really suffer if you read them in this order. I did. But EML makes a good case. Because Galactic Patrol is a MUCH better introductions to the universe than Triplanetary and First Lensman.
Much better.

Based on Scott Adam's latest cartoon panel:
Hogwarts has new Muggle Studies professor. His name is Dilbert. So what department would Catbert and Dogbert be under?
