The actual books are long enough. If there's shit I need to know, Martin should put that stuff in the books. The rest of it is just trying to get me to spend my money. And I'll allow more leeway for this kind of stuff once he finishes his goddamn epic.

Of course. I love those books. My favorite is book 4, A Feast for Crows, which most people dislike and think is the weakest book. But I goddamn love it. That and Storm of Swords. Both just excellent fantasy fiction on every level.

I haven't read those prequel books, and I have very little desire to. Not exactly for the reasons Joey stated: it's more, like, I've already read all about them on the Wiki and have all the major plot points. There's plenty of other new books out there that I want to read.

Yeah, I'm kinda just being a brat. I would like to read those prequel stories eventually. But they are pretty low on my list of priorities right now. I still haven't read As I Lay Dying. Or everything by Toni Morrison. Or Proust. Or fucking Ulysses, for crying out loud.

What are you waiting for? You could skip the football game tonight and bang out like the first 2-3 sections of Ulysses.

That just reminded me that I had a dream about Ulysses the other night and meant to look something up in it. I'll never remember what, though.

I'm still 27 % through the book. I put it down last January and haven't picked it back up again. Yet.

I don't think I've gotten there yet. I just remember someone on a beach. And a lot of nose picking.

Oh, there are plenty of beaches and nose pickings to come. Plus farts, peeing, jerking off, drinking. It is often considered the apex of Western literature, you know.
