NCEPR: I feel so accomplished

[emisi]

Any of you read the Song of Ice and Fire series? I finally finished A Game of Thrones. Why do I feel accomplished about this, you ask, seeing as it's the shortest book in the series?

I started it when I was 16. I'm 29.

Yeah, I couldn't finish it after a Certain Point Towards the End. But having grown up and gotten much more cynical, I tried again, and finished it.

Anyone else reading this? I'm working on book 2 now, planning on taking it with me on vacation next week. A little light beach reading, right?

I'm on book four! Just started it. I read the first one upon recommendation of the ladies here. I really liked book one, was meh on book two, liked three a lot, and so far, 50 pages into book four, I'm like ehhh. I couldn't put one and three down, while this one I'm just not feeling, at least not yet.

I just finished book 4 and immediately downloaded and started book 5. So far 4 has been my least favorite of the series - but I think that may be mostly due to the lack of appearances by Dany, Tyrion and Jon Snow. They are my favorites.
