Must read faster...must read faster...

I really need to get caught up on A Song of Ice and Fire so I can start reading fic.  One chapter, and I'm already shipping Brienne/Jaime like crazy.  I could read Dany/Jorah, too, though I feel like I'm already being set up for Dany/Robb.  (I just started A Storm of Swords - no spoilers please!)  I've heard that Sansa/Sandor is a big deal in the fandom, but I so don't see that at all.  He may save her life here and there, but he's always a total prick to her.  Plus, she's like...really way younger than him.

I think watching Battlestar Galactica helped prepare me for this series, though.  I kept reading people, in that "oh I'm so special I have already read/watched what you are now reading/watching, that makes me ~fancy, let me spoil you without actually spoiling you" way, talk about how dark! horrible! painful! it was, but I'm like...eh.  I mean, yeah, bad things happen, but I haven't thrown the book away yet.  Or put it in the freezer.

Downloaded "A Dance With Dragons" first thing yesterday and dove in.

Welcome aboard!

Yay! I might take a little break after ASOS, honestly - I don't want to burn through so fast I'm left wanting more when I know good and well it'll be a long time before there's any more...

That's probably a good idea since "A Feast for Crows" and "A Dance With Dragons" both cover the same period in time. You need to be ready to read them back to back.
