First, some backstory.  Martha Wells’ book Cloud Roads is one of my top picks for 2011.  It’s imaginative and original, and every time I re-read it, I feel like I’m visiting friends who always have something fascinating to say.  Just a few minutes ago, we received Wells’ Serpent Sea, which continues the adventures of the characters from Cloud Roads.  So here’s the dilemma:  Do I read it right away?  Or hold off for a while?

Point for the latter:  Savouring the anticipation
Point for the latter:  I WANT TO READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!

Help me out here.
