Wiscon does sound like fun.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.
'Out Of Gas'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Now I'm on to 'Mark Reads Harry Potter' and enjoying the hell out of that
I've read that and the transition into fanboy is kinda adorable.

Meanwhile... there is news. Big news. The end is in sight, at long long last, and we're close enough so that my editors and publishers at Bantam Spectra have set an actual publication date.
A DANCE WITH DRAGONS will be in your favorite bookstore on
TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2011
Yes, I know. You've all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them... well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like.
This date is different. This date is real.
Barring tsunamis, general strikes, world wars, or asteroid strikes, you will have the novel in your hands on July 12. I hope you like it.
(For what it's worth, the book's a monster. Think A STORM OF SWORDS.)
The dragons are coming. Prepare to dance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'll believe it when I see it. (And then I'll wait for it to come out in paperback because I do not have the biceps to read a book that long in hardcover.)

Well, it should be available for Kindle and ibook.

so I'm reading Game of Thrones finally. Somehow, I feel like admitting to not having read it yet is like admitting to not having read Chaucer during an English Department coffee hour. And yet, a little bit not.

yes?
I feel like I've read the first few chapters before, though.
I'm a big fake. I know it.

Sox, if it makes you feel better, I also haven't read it, and don't really have plans to.

Sadly, and I know I will regret posting this, I saw the really good trailer photos, with the two blond siblings, and thought "what's with the Flowers in the Attic kids on my fantasy fic?" and had to dive back in.
