So I jumped on the George R.R. Martin bandwagon...

I bought 'A Game of Thrones' yesterday. Long ass book with small ass print. I swore I'd never read another book this long after Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell.

I hope I like this.

On a side note, I won't be around much this weekend. Book. Last bits of Smutmas. GOF.

Hope everyone's doing good and enjoying the movie :-)

Just a warning, I found the first book hard to get through... mostly just because it's very dense with a lot of characters and background.

But by the end of the first book/beginning of the 2nd, I was totally hooked. :-) So if you find it difficult at first, stick with it. He takes some surprising turns.

How was Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell? I've had it for a year now and read a chunk but got sidelined and haven't been able to get back into it. Is it worth it?

JSaMN was excellent, but dude, the footnotes got on my nerves.

Clark is VERY thorough.
