Excellent! You'll fly through it. It's easy to read and very exciting! I've just started 'A Clash of Kings', the second installment! Now it gets really interesting reading ahead of the TV show!

Going back and rereading some older stuff.
"The Illustrated Man" by Bradbury reminds me why his stories have always been special to me.
As a kid growing up in the late 50's and early 60's, I couldn't get enough stories about space travel,
but he took just a little bit different slant on the subject.
So many books, so little time...

Maxwell's 'The Folded Leaf'. A great book from an American writer under-appreciated alongside the likes of Updike, Salinger, Kerouac etc...

Just finished "The diving bell and the Butterfly" - a memoir written by a French journalist who had a stroke and woke up with "locked in syndrome". He could only move his left eyelid and wrote the memoir by blinking to indicate which letter he wanted to an assistant who then wrote it down.
Amazingly upbeat given the guy went from being healthy and successful to paralysed except for the use of one eye.
