Strange days here in Santa Fe. One night we get a blizzard that dumps six inches of snow on us, the next day is so bright and warm that the snow is gone by noon. Many grey days, damp, overcast, chilly without being freezing. Winter is holding on.

I cannot seem to shake this crud. Taking vitamin D and C, taking various cold remedies and allergy meds, and all of them help, but I'm still congested and coughing. It's more annoying than anything else. The worst part is how tired it makes me feel. Just when I most need to be shifting into high gear, I have no bloody energy. Not much good work getting done.

Ty is on vacation too, visiting Minnesota with his lovely wife. So stuff is piling up here, and I seem further behind with every passing day.

Plus bad news on various fronts that I cannot talk about.

Ah, don't mind me. I'm just in a fool mood.

I'm going back to the DANCE. I need to kill someone.

Wow litfags, you got me there oO. I thought I was a geek, but I don't have it that bad.

Anyways, I remember a hot summer day a few years ago, I think it was like 2003 or 2004 and I was reading one of GRRMs books from the A Song of... series, really getting into it. A few months later I got more books, Storm of Swords etc. (books 2-3) and a year or two later I got Feast for the Crows and I thought that I must be living a magical time of my life, since my favorite author is publishing his opus magnum as we speak. It won't be like reading LotR, because Tolkien's all rotted through and through.

One day I went to his website. I saw promises of DwD and... here I am now, it's been 4 years, /lit/, and I'm still waiting for that fucking book.

I'm on page 500 or so of Storm of Swords right now and it is really fucking boring so far. Game of Thrones was awesome and Clash was epic, but I feel like I have to force myself through these goddamn Catelyn, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Jon, and Daenerys chapters. Please tell me it gets better.

Do you know how many 900+ page books Steven Erikson wrote in the time it took GRRM to do AFFC? Four. Do you know how many other doorstoppers he's done since then? Four again. He'll have his tenth and final novel in the Malazan Book of the Fallen out before ADWD is even proofread. And as much as I'm a massive Erikson fanboy I think that's kind of a shame, as GRRM is pretty sweet and I'd like to read more of ASOIAF. Still, I do actually get new books in my favourite series every year so I'm not exactly torn up about it.

They do, it just alternates between the three major continents which most of the action happens on between novels. 1, 3 and 8 are on one continent, 2, 4 and 6 on a different continent with some old but mostly new characters, and 5 (set either just before or parallel to 1), 7, 9 and 10 are all on the endgame continent.

There's a shitton of storylines but out of the two I give a shit about, one is ending in 10 and the other in one of the two trilogies being written after the Book of the Fallen is finished.

Fuck yes there is. You've got High Mages blowing the fuck out of flying mountains, you've got Elder Goddesses punching dragons to death, you've got high explosives in a fantasy setting and exactly the kind of dragon-exploding smug ancient power-gibbing shenanigans you'd expect from giving C4 to madmen, you've got an Elder God who goes around hitting people with the gate to the realm of the creator of the universe in the face, you've got Tehol and Bugg who are the best characters - right before Kallor the High King, of course, the guy who was such an asshole that some mages decided to summon an alien god and eventual main villain to beat him, fucked up the summoning, ripped the god apart and turned the entire continent they were on into horrible crater-covered Swiss cheese from all the godbits that hit it, three Elder Deities came over to the other continent in his Empire to free it from him only to find he'd killed all twelve million of them to spite them, and later on he cops a feel off the creator of the universe and stabs a dragon in the face.

This is not a low fantasy series, although it really does hate dragons a lot.

More like Dany and Drogo.

>It seemed as if hours passed before his hands went to her breasts.He stroked the soft skin underneath until it tingled. He circled her nipples with his thumbs, pinched them between thumb and forefinger, then began to pull at her, very lightly at first, then more insistently, until her nipples began to ache. He stopped then, and drew her down onto his lap. Dany was flushed and breathless, her heart fluttering in her chest. He cupped her face in his huge hands and she looked into his eyes. "No?" he asked, and she knew it was a question. She took his hand and moved it down to the wetness between her thighs. "Yes" she whispered as he put his finger inside her.
