It be interested to hear what you think. I loved his first book, got bored reading his second book and never really kept up with him after that.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I just finished the last book for The Game of Thrones ... what a marathon read that was making it through all 5 in row.:surrender: I just started reading the book Blind Mans Bluff ... turns out one of my golf buddies was on one of the subs that went into soviet waters to perform some of the missions. At the time it was super duper top secret.

Now's a great time to read it, it's finished. I started it twenty years ago back when there were 2+ year waits between books. Still haven't read the final book "A Memory of Light". Thinking I'll start from the beginning and just go on a 12,000 page binge. Might have to go buy a special reading chair :-P

I did finish this series.

I would recommend it.  It will definitely take awhile to finish.

My only issue with it is, Jordan seems to have the tendency to ramble.  I think the series could have been just as good (possibly better), if he cut it down a little.  Oh yeah, and the non-stop bickering amongst the women......

Sounds good. I'll try to buy them on paperback. Series like that, I like to read non-digital. Something about actually turning a page. If I get hooked I'll blame you for my sleepless nights of just having to read one more chapter. ;)

If you don't binge read Game of Thrones you might get caught up by the time the next book comes out :-P

GRRM timetable is up in the air. The series is catching up to him very fast. He says he wants to stay ahead of it.

Caught up. Last episode, most of what happened, 75% is new material. Book readers just as clueless as non book readers for the most part. 2 more episodes to go and given how accelerated the pace GoT is, will be well into TWOW. TWOW is taking forever and I'm liking the series better, AFFC and ADWD was a slog, sorry GRRM.

Ha ha. I only understood the first couple of sentences, then it looks like you spilled your Alphabits.

Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses Hey @Ernest Jones , did you finish Twisted River?

Nope. I liked it, although it wasn't one of my favorites. It does meander- life meanders too doesn't it? - but I think the main reason I never finished it was because I dowloaded it on my phone. I'll never read a book that way again, I don't even think I'd enjoy a kindle.

Yours in earnest, Jason.
