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.

But are you enjoying it?

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.

On the flip side, and perhaps to redeem myself just a little, I just read the house copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to HKF, starting with the entirety of the cover. She asked what the six-digit number was in the top left corner. I believe it's the ISBN for a book published in 1976. She also commented that no one had dog eared any pages, in all the book's long yellowing life. I count that as a win.

Remainder Report: Lots of cool titles on the remainder table at Pegasus Books. They had Bolano's 2066 in TPB for only $9. Every time I read the beginning I started to get sucked in so I've been eager to get it.

They had the oversize and elaborate Taschen Circus set (1870-1955) for only $70. I think it originally went for closer to $300. It has huge foldout reproductions of vintage posters and tons of photos.

They also had the complete New Yorker Cartoons book, with the accompanying two CDs of every cartoon ever published in the New Yorker. Only $30, and worth it just for your iPad.

A Dance with Dragons currently #4 on Amazon's Top 100 books thanks to preorders.

(#2 is a pop-up book about Harry Potter.)

Sox, I read the first few and then just stopped. Too long between updates, too much death, too grim overall. Plus the incest. I might watch the show, for the awesome cast.
