I have no intention of reading any of Martin's books, Perhaps you could use your knowledge of A Feast For Crows to convince me otherwise.

If not, we could use this thread to argue why people shouldn't use the term "feasting" in reference to reading this book. It's far too sensual.

Polymorphikos, why rob yourself the chance to read the best work of fantasy going today. Many may try to argue the fact, but A Song of Ice of Fire is the most acclaimed fantasy epic to appear in a long time. I often urge skeptics to go read the Amazon.com reviews for these books. NO FANTASY gets this kind of praise, except for LOTR of course.

Have you tried it before and not liked it?

I started reading the first one and got bored. When I say "no intention" I of course mean "maybe".

I had the same experience as poly. Some of us prefer tentacles in our fantasy.

Re: When is everyone coming back to the site?

And think about your answer carefully, there, Sword, or she may get violent.

Am about halfway through Feast, so give me maybe till this weekend, and I'll be up for some discourse.

Poly, KO - I'd urge you to give it one more go. A couple of million fanboys (and girls) can't be wrong. Well written, intricately layered, fast-moving (for the most part), lovingly detailed, immersive like no other book I have ever read. But then if you don't get into, fair enough. It's not for all. But there are some tentacles, KO, though only the painted kind....

When you invite me to the lounge with that Avatar... I tend to cringe. I think I'll come back in mid-November.
