You what would've made that better? Dracula.

No, not really but I just wanted to bring shit full circle.

No you have to read Dracula now, and then we switch back for it come full circle.

Let's start a book club.

Seriously.

Beck will pick a book, and give us weekly assignments (one chapter, two, three, etc. depending on average chapter length) and then we discuss on Sundays. Or something. Just an idea.

No Harlequin!

In that case, everyone read Treasure Island.

A Feast for Crows

I'm already sort of annoyed with all the new characters that I care nothing about at all.

Ah but I wanted to know if the virgin secretary ended up with the European Millionaire....for the 37th time.

Don't forget she had his secret baby!

Which is pretty amazing given that whole virgin thing.

Luckily it was only two chapters so far. The previous books did the same thing, and they came to be interesting characters in most cases, but I still found it annoying. I wanted to know what happens with the remaining Starks and care little for what happens in Dorne.

A Feast for Crows is literally half a story. Half the cast is entirely omitted in that book.

That's why everyone was frothing for A Dance with Dragons for five years.

Good to know I won't have to wait, I suppose, though I'm sure I'll be frustrated soon enough. I'll likely be through this one as fast I've been through the last three.

I'm about half way through "The Coming of Conan The Cimmerian" by Robert E. Howard. I've read it before, and it is just a stand in till I find something I haven't read to....well, read.

Fiero · « **Reply #644 on:** Nov 30, 2011, 10:53:50 AM »

At the end of Feast for Crows I really enjoyed reading "hopefully next year."

I'm reading A Dance with Dragons now. I'm very much interested to see what Dany's been doing this whole time.

Am I again only going to get to read about half the cast members? Will I not know what's happening with Arya and Sansa in this book? And boy it's been a while since Rickon, Shaggydog and the wildling woman were mentioned.

joe · « **Reply #645 on:** Nov 30, 2011, 12:08:57 PM »

I would need a refresher course on Crows, because it's just been so damn long since I read it. I think some characters that featured in Crows are also touched upon in Dragons, which was confusing because the events are all supposed to be happening concurrently. Arya is definitely in Dragons, those others are not.

Personally, I think George R.R. Martin has created a real mess for himself, and it's only going to get worse. How big is the next book going to be in order to encompass all story threads? Surely we won't be getting another of these split-down-the-middle fiascos.

That's what I'm worried about as well. I'll still read it.

I'm still on A Dance with Dragons.

I'm even putting off my comic books for awhile, because I don't want to read anything else right now.

I giggle every time the word 'cunny' comes up. I want to find ways to use this in everyday conversation without stretching it ... I just can't help but laughing when I say this word out loud to myself.
