I have only read them once about 1-2 years ago, and now, I have decided to start them over again. I just finished the last Harry Potter book and was finding myself in need of something to read. So I will be rereading them. I am sure that I will get more out of them the second time. My sister-inlaw just picked up the first book and she is going to start it this week. I am looking forward to discussing things from the book with her. The thing I really respect Martin for is that he is really apoligetic and truely sorry that it takes so long for him to release his books. He also reads exerpts at conventions and book signings and then lets people paraphrase the small exerpts that he reads to get people excited about his books.UNlike Jordan, who to get people excited about his books SOLD a mini book (the introduction). Talk about selling out!!!! I wish Martin would kill off about a hundred of Jordans characters, and replace his editor. Then maybe the books would not blow so much. But This is not a Jordan bash. But a place to express my love of the Song of Ice and Fire!!</blockquote>
