I think A Dance with Dragons finally comes out in paperback format later this year.

July?

Eh I already bought the hardcover. 

So I have 4 paperbacks and 1 hardcover on my shelf. Looks kinda funky.

[LPPrince]

Thats why I'm waiting for paperbacks. hah

At least for copies I keep.

I'm reading Feast for Crows and out of the new points of views added I really like Damphair's, Asha's, Brienne's and Cersei's. Cersei's was one that I just wasn't really too keen on when I first saw it, but it grew on me.

Still hate her because she's far too emotional -- understandably so -- but her chapters are enjoyable to read.

Exactly like he said- she wasn't trained and groomed to rule, because of this she crumbles under pressure.

Thats interesting because I already have ADWD on paperback on my shelf. It's staring at me with that 'get a move on' look.

[LPPrince]

Aye, here's what I'm looking at

[LPPrince]

Oh, and apparently not July, but October. Phooey.

[King KvT I]

 Ah, this and this are what I've got currently.

[LPPrince]

Aye, I like books whole instead of split into two smaller ones. hah

[King KvT I]

I'm not so bothered by that, only they take up more room on my shelf which could be used for other books. Oh well.

More like she's more suited to a life of prostitution than being queen. 

Cersei is one of those characters "I love to hate."

No, she crumbles because her reach exceeds her grasp. You don't have to be groomed to rule in order to understand not to do some of the stupid things she has done in search of power (like reinstating the church militants, getting an exiled Maester to perform necromancy, trying to frame Margery with the man she had been sleeping with) and it serves her right that those have come back to bite her in the ass. She's capable of being manipulative and even when she's acting humbled at the end of DoD, it's just an act.

If you aren't trained and groomed to rule, you're either going to reach for more than you can grasp or you won't reach far enough.

Hence my point.

Nah, she's just stupid and has a bad concept of history.

Motivate me to keep going right now.

Once you're done, you don't have to reread it ever again.

I'm gonna try right now OH GOD

Am I the only person that thinks the valonquar that will kill Cersei will be Jaime?

Feast is where there's a lot of walking. And feasting. And crows.

Good thing I like talking. I could read a whole book about a conversation between Tyrion and 'x' POV char. It's when there's battles that I get confused.

I like battles all right (although they can get too grand in scope and make for heavy reading without adding much, especially with Martin's focus on heraldry), and I like conversations all right, but in general, things need to happen to keep my interest.

The second "Dune" book is basically conversations, and it bored me to tears.

No, no.   You're not the only one who caught on to the fact that Jaime can technically count as Cersei's little brother.

It just occurred to me that some of this prophecy business can refer to Arya pretty easily. Now that she's got a connection to "salt" especially.

WTF are they doing to the damn series? DO they plan on completely re-writing the books?

Yes.

I've always wondered what Tyrion did before the events of AGoT. I know his history, like marrying Tysha and being in charge of the cisterns at the Rock but what did he do right before the royal party went to Winterfell? I've read that he spent time in King's Landing to be away from Tywin but what did he actually do? Did he have a job or just read and go to... establishments all day?
