Well I Imagine this book will be as wide in scope as the books get, i.e. characters should start coming together soon (Dany etc) so hopefully things will be ..simpler.

And the body count will keep rising...

Should go back to killing off major POV characters I'd say.

Spoiler for Obviously:

Ya think so eh Lostfap? That would be shocking for sure, and not make much sense from a narrative standpoint, but we'll see.

**Victarion** · 07-17-2010, 03:45 PM

Nah, that'd make no sense. I'm saying I'd not object to it happening.

Dany Sue's not getting in peril for a while I'd say.

**MrMister** · 07-17-2010, 03:52 PM

Yeah of all the characters, she's gotta at least make it to the end. Everyone else is fair game at this point.

Reading harry potter books for the seventh time.

**MrMister** · 07-17-2010, 04:21 PM

hiplop, buy and read A Game of Thrones for fuck's sake!

Just finished 'A Handful Of Dust' by Evelyn Waugh, halfway through a biography of Nick Drake, and I'm about to start Thomas Mann's "Doctor Faustus". I can't claim to agree with the people who were saying that studying books at high school killed it for them - I'm a year into an English degree

Why? I like the Harry Potter books a lot but I've read them and enjoyed them and with the movies coming out I don't really see any reason to read them again. By brother does the same thing and when I ask him why he doesn't read anything else he just says that he doesn't like any other books. It makes me want to slap him around sometimes.

You really should. I loved the whole concept of the book. Good Omens is also another good book by him. It's a much lighter tone but it really is pretty funny. Those are the only 2 from Gaiman that I've read but I have Anasi Boys in my house as I just picked it up from the library the other day.

I'm currently reading Fire Starter by Stephen King and it's been really good so far. A lot of it has to do with the fact that early setting in the book takes place about 10 minutes away from where I live but I think I would have liked the start anyways.
