Well, I just finished reading Dune last night, so...
Last time it took me awhile to read what you'd sent, but a huge part of that was I figured out that I needed to have a printed copy to read. I just can't sit at my computer and read a book for some reason.
I've also started reading a lot more since then so am used to it (again). Actually hadn't read much in quite a few years before that and would watch TV at night, but am back to reading instead. I've always been a big reader, but all the reading I had to do in grad school (and other things in life) had put a damper on that for awhile. Got out of the habit.
Will make sure I have a pen/pencil handy to write criticisms this time, too, which will also be much easier with a hard copy.
Oh, I do have some family supposedly coming the last week of June (their plans often change...), but other than that I should be able to concentrate on reading. Will try to be as critical as possible, but even though I really don't normally read steampunk honestly part 1 was pretty darn good and enjoyable. So I'd love to read a more finished product!

I got you down, brother, and I was greatly appreciative of what you sent last time. It'll be ready early in July.

Yeah, put me down as well. I am getting close to finishing Shogun (freaking 1000 pages), so I am all yours. I wrote another 2 pages in my own book, so according to my calculations, in about 1034 years, I will ask your phylactery to return the favor.

I'll be happy to take a look at whatever you got now or just discuss ideas if you want bro.

Ugh, I would love to do that, and I edit writing for a living (ok, it's persuasive legal writing, but still I know how to be hard on stuff even if it's from people I care about) but now's not the right time at all. Just started rehearsals for a new show so I don't have evenings.
All the best on your continued progress, though, man! Rooting for you all the way. Would love to read a copy when it's out or in another round of edits.
Also this - "One of the larger themes in my book is the camaraderie of a group of people of varying beliefs" - the world needs so much more of that.

I'm in final revisions and doing one more read-through before I start the final phase. If anyone is ready to receive it now, please shoot me your e-mail address again, either here or on Facebook. I don't mean to sound conceited but PLEASE only accept a copy if you have every intention of reading it. I'm sorry if that's rude but I'm terribly disappointed in the amount of friends who spoke up last time and couldn't be bothered to crack it open (no one here).

Sorry for the delay, I took a few days break before jumping back in and have spent the last four days in non-stop editing. I've sent a "final" draft out to those of you willing to take the time. I love you guys. I love our forum and I love the history we all have forever. You really do mean everything to me.

Just met the sleazy mayor of San Antonio, on a family vacation so didn't get to read as much as I wanted.
