I have, Rayne! They're really good. I don't read much epic fantasy, but it was pitched to me as "epic fantasy for people who don't read epic fantasy," so that worked.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

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."

Elio and Linda (from Westeros.org) talk about character parallels that GRRM has set up in A Song of Ice and Fire.
Spoilers for all 4 books and the sample chapter of ADWD that was published in the paperback edition of AFFC. (That's the other reason to still get the paperback edition of ADWD - a sample of WoW.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
GRRM is doing a book signing on the north side of town next Saturday. Do I want to go? It'll be super crazy, and I'll hate all the people, right? It's a wealthy, busy area of town on a normal day. But it'll be insane for that kind of event, right?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Rayne, I have also read the Rothfuss books, and I liked them very, very much! BIG recommend!
I DL'd the sample chapter of "Miss Peregrine's..." and really wanted to like it...and didn't.

Man. . . somebody posted at Westeros that Waterstone sent their book already (probably arriving tomorrow) and somebody else got a call from the local bookshop that their copy was ready to be picked up and meanwhile, Amazon doesn't even have my copy (of ADWD) "shipping soon."

Hey. New board.
I just finished my re-read of Ice and Fire.
I have to say, there are a lot of criticizers of A Feast for Crows, but I think it is one of the best books in the series. Yes, I wish I saw more of the missing characters, but the scope of the series is so thoroughly expanded in the book that I just don't mind.
Do we know how many books are planned? ADwD is supposed to cover all of the AFFC timeline plus some more, I know. How much longer before the climax?
