    For all of you reading Game of Thrones, I pity you. There is nothing but heartbreak and cliffhangers ahead! I think Martin is a sadist, enjoying watching everyone reel from all the character deaths and bite their nails waiting for the next book!

      Yeah. I'm done. At the foot tapping phase. Get ON with it George! My 16 year old was actually intrigued because he heard the book had more major character deaths then any other. Feels about right. No one is safe.

        I agree, and he keeps piddling around with other projects instead of finishing GoT. I was hoping that signing on the HBO series would light a fire under him, but I'm not sure it's helping. Maybe he'll at least give them his notes so they can keep going? It reminds me of Robert Jordan having the nerve to die before finishing Wheel of Time. Brandon Sanderson finished the series using his notes, and TBH I think he did a better job than RJ would have...

          Yes -- I read in an interview that GM has discussed the series wrap up plot lines with the TV writers. He said he wouldn't allow a different writer to finish his series but he would let the TV show finish it if he dies. That made me very depressed.... it's like he's not even thinking about finishing it. Boo, George. BOO!

          I bought Eye of the World. Ready to get sucked in to that series for the summer. At least they've got 15 books and it's DONE.

              I'm still smack in the middle of a few books. "The Duchess", "Let's Pretend This Never Happened", "Game of Thrones", "Lies My Teacher Told Me", and "An Echo in the Bone" again.

              Yes, I have literary ADD.

                I'm in the second book in the Divergent series. It's really good! It is a little like Hunger Games, and they're making a movie of it.

                  I'm reading Harley Loco: A Memoir of Hard Living, Hair, and Post-Punk, from the Middle East to the Lower East Side. The author wished me happy birthday on fb and I thought that was sweet. She also happens to be from the same country as my hubby and her family relocated near where we live now so some of the places in the book are near me. It's also pretty awesome reading about the NYC music scene in the 80s. I couldn't stop reading it but then put it down and am just now getting back to it.

                    Just finished a biography of the Mitford sisters and started The Rice Room by Ben Fong-Torres. DD, how're you liking The Duchess? That's been on my list for a while.

                        Blood, Bones and Butter (cooking memoir) - pretty good, similar to Anthony Bourdain's books. That reminds me that I need to get The Nasty Bits.

                          "Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes" (which is *awesome*), and Neverwhere (listened to the recent radio play and realized I'd never read it). I have Collapse and a volume of the complete works of shakepeare on the back burner, too.

                            Currently reading both "Beautiful Ruins" and "Choke". Recently finished "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" on audio book and it was fantastic. It was bizarre and funny and enthralling. Plus the narrator was excellent. Highly recommend.

                              I heart Chuck Pahlahniuk. He currently lives only a few miles from where I grew up. Literally a few hundred yards away from where my former daycare is located.

                                Oh wow, that's cool! "Survivor" was the first one I read, and I listened to it on Audible. I started it one night while I was making dinner and about three minutes in, even DH was glued to it. I'm not crazy about the narrator (he's kind of creepy), but his writing is...really honest and strange and captivating.
