    It's taken me a while and I still have a good number left. Flying for work kills reading time since I do most of it on the train to and from work.

      I still wish they'd work in "A Clash of Kings" somewhere in the title. Still, I can't wait! At least the FFG boardgame is being re-released this fall which should help ease the wait.

              Yeah its not a good marketing decision to bring that in though, especially considering that starting with season 3, it won't really be a book per season anymore.

              It would be cool if they got the book titles in as episode titles.

                Anybody else following the character pages on Facebook? Some of the exchanges between the characters and the fans of the series are hilarious.

                  I was wrong. I had less than half that left. I didn't realize so many pages would be dedicated to other content like family history and excerpts.

                  So it was surprising to me when I realized the end of the book was actually the end. Then I reread it and found it fitting especially the last line or thought about not being dead.

                  I went back and reread the last paragraphs of every character's last chapter so I can refresh my mind on their whereabouts. I realized that

                  Read it. The last 100 pages are really great.

                      Enjoy it! I need a little mental break. It was two months (I read like 15 pages a day on the train) of reading that story and I'll get agitated if I jump into the next one so quickly.
