I'm only on the second book of A Song of Ice and Fire and I'm really struggling I think I might just give up and stick to the TV series. Loved the first book but I'm about 2/3 of the way through the second one and I've hit a wall. I've read 4 other books while I've been reading this one because I can't get into it. I find the whole jumping from one character to the other makes me lose interest.

Having read them all, I thought the 2nd was the slowest storyline wise. I say stick with it because it gets so much better!

Watching the first series I made the huge mistake of checking wikipedia to sort a bit all those names, families and stuff..... SPOILERS GALORE :mad:

You have to stay away from internet....

I did exactly the same thing! Actually what is helpful is if you just Google list of characters in Game of Thrones, there are a few websites with lists and explanations of who they are without any spoilers.

Just finished Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay which was alright, if a little disappointing. Started on Secrets of the Tides by Hannah Richell last night and have finished half of it, really engaging!

Just about to start "The Lies of Locke Lamore". I've heard great things about it!

A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin.

I was the same, gave up after about 30 pages!

Very disappointing. The last paragraph is the most revealing, but I nearly didn't make it that far.

Was of the same opinion, but continued on through it, and found it a great read, much much better than the HBO version of it.

Just finished Tom Clancy's 'Locked On', tough read, but enjoyable.
Not as good as 'Dead or Alive' by him though.

You're hardly a voracious reader, you've given yourself almost TWO FULL DAYS to read each book!

Here's my reading list to be completed before 3pm today - Arsenal v Fulham on TV.
David Edmonds and John Eidinow - Wittgenstein's Poker
Umberto Eco - The Prague Cemetery
James Joyce - Finnegan's Wake
Friedrich Nietzsche - Philosophy in the Tragic age of the Greeks
John Milton - Paradise Lost
Marty Morrissey - Inside The Minds Of Jack O'Shea and Noam Chomsky

Wish me luck!

Am more than half way through The Passage by Justin Cronin. The first half was excellent but the leap forward of 100 or so years threw me a bit. Its like a different book. Have stuck with it and enjoying it again, just hope its worth it. Have read somewhere, probably here that it is.

The Táin - translated by Thomas Kinsella..
Its brilliant, getting back in touch with my ancient celtic side; blood, gore, battles, sex, the whole lot!

Moving onto The Fall of Yugoslavia next so more of the same I suspect :P
