Bring plenty of water, Brett! A Feast for Crows is definitely a much drier read than the previous three books.

I just finished up "The Great Train Robbery" at the recommendation of Mr. Kevin Hagerman. That was a fun read!Picked it up at the library in a bound volume with "The Andromeda Strain" and "The Terminal Man", so I may as well give those a read as well, before I have to return the book.

Agreed. The character count has something to do with that. I disagree with Martin's decision on splitting the books.
I'm currently reading It's Superman by Tom DeHaven. I'm enjoying it but as a huge Superman fan, I am a bit taken aback by some of his origin re-imagining.

Currently in between books, but I just submitted requests this morning to the library for Valerie Plame's book (I saw FAIR GAME over the weekend and would like to learn a bit more) and the new book by Albert Brooks, 2030.

I'm currently reading a non-fiction book "Night of the Living Dead - Behind the Scenes of the most terrifying zombie movie ever" and "Gump & Co" by Winston Groom. I'm quite the sucker for bios - I've got Keith Richards and William Shatner on the list (books purchased for me by the wife).

"The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia: A Guide To H.P. Lovecraft's Universe" by Daniel Harms. I've dabbled a bit in Lovecraft's fiction, but I've decided to delve a little deeper. Hopefully this will be a good reference guide to keep handy to help with the tongue twisting names of demons and places in Lovecraft's worlds.

Have fun with your exploration of Lovecraft, Thom. He's one of my favorite writers because there's nobody else who could do what he did the way he did it. Like the early Marvel Universe, Lovecraft's universe is an amazing place that doesn't ever feel like the author was intentionally trying to force everything to fit together. It just kind of fell together in a very good way, so it seems more natural that way.

Just finished Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Odd book in that I liked it a lot but also felt it's premise was silly. The logic didn't really hold together but unexamined it was really good. Reading The War that killed Achilles by Caroline Alexander. I thought it was going to be a historical examination of the Trojan War but it's more of an examination of the text of the Illiad. Interesting but not quite what I was looking for.
