| someone recommended George RR Martin to me |

someone recommended George RR Martin and I just finished up book 3 'A Storm of Swords'
holy crap were those books good. I inhaled all 3 of them like a bowl of cookies and cream.
At first they were hard for me to get into, but after a few hundred pages I could not stop reading. I finished up storm of swords last night. Never before has a book dropped my jaw like that before! I can't believe how many main characters got wasted!
Is a feast of crows out yet? When will it be in paperback...
and whoever you were who recommended George RR Martin can you recommend any other authors!
damn sam!

| 1. I don't think it is out yet |
|
but I am waiting for it as well.
Those are incredible books. When I first read them and found all of the main characters getting wasted, I thought, "Damn...that's probably more like real life than fiction!"

and I can also recommend Robin Hobb. Start w/ the Farseer Triology, book #1 of which is "Assassins Apprentice".
A Feast for Crows is not out yet. I eagerly anticipate it as well.

| 4. I am writing those names down |
|
at first I was NOT into it. I thought, oh great, the inner politics of some kingdom, where are the monsters! Childish, I know...but I got so sucked in.
I was devastated by some of the things that happened in the book. I really got attached to a lot of the characters!
