Was it The Angel's Game, Jesse? I want to read that one; it's set in the same world. I loved The Shadow of the Wind.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, The Angel's Game.

I'm debating bringing it on my trip. I'm trying to take TBR books I can leave there or exchange with my sister-in-law, but I took that from the work bookshelf and sort of feel it's one of the "good ones" I should bring back.
ETA: Shadow, not the other one.

How is the prose in Game of Thrones? I know that is super subjective but is it one of those works with great characters or plot and cringe-making writing?

I'm almost done! It's really good. It's my favorite since Rosemary and Rue.

Hey. New board.
lisah, I wouldn't call it cringe-making. I'd even say it's pretty good. It's not Faulkner, but it's much better than many series of it's type (I'm looking at you, Shanarra books!)

It is really good.
lisa - I enjoy the writing and the characters - I think you can find lots of samples online. There is an excerpt from the upcoming book here but I bet you can see parts of the first book at Amazon.

Is it funny at all?
I think I may want everything I read to be The Long Ships now! Epic and hilarious! I just finished it the other night.
