If you can krunchyfrogg, do the library thing. You just never know how you'll feel about 'em.

Any news on the MUCH overdue Feast for Crows?

Georgie is certainly taking his time, but that's the price of getting into a series before it's complete. He'll get it out when it's done... I've seen dates as far out as late 2005 (although based on the updates on his website it seems he should be closer than that).

I'd rather have it RIGHT than fast... but hopefully he can do both before I'm 80 and too blind to read it. :D

btw: Here's my normal response to "Is 'A Song of Ice and Fire' any good?"
- It's the best Fantasy series since Hobbits and the Professor legitamized the genre.

or to steal some dialog from "The Princess Bride"...

(dread pirate roberts) "Are they really that good"
(sicilian) "Do you know Jordan, Williams, Bradley?"
(dread pirate roberts) "yes"
(sicilian) "HACKS!"

Well, the problem with "right" rather than "fast" is, as you said, that I'm not getting any younger. Worse -- neither is JRR Martin. He and Cheney look like they have the same dietician.

I'm still waiting for a call from the library myself, but I was just thinking, it's about time for a new one by Terry Brooks. I met him 2 years a go at a book signing here in Halifax. He said this would be the last in the Shanara series for a while and than he was starting on something else for a while... can't remember what though?

Well, I just finished "Tanequil" by Terry Brooks, his lastest. It was good but he left me hanging again!
I picked up Game of Thrones when I returned Tanequil which was on hold for me. I'm at page 15 now and didn't read the prologue, so just a few pages in. It looks like it will be pretty good though.

Methinks you should read the prologue(s)...

Why did you skip the prologue??

It's like playing Baldur's Gate II without ever doing Irenicus's Dungeon...

I thought the Prologue was just a bit out of the book? Or was my wife wrong? Ok, I'll read it.

The prologue is a run down of what has happened before the book.
