    I started book 5 awhile ago and just picked it up again. I'm really enjoying it now and am sad I only have 300 pages left.

    I recently read somewhere that with all the success of the books lately (likely because of GOT), Martin is considering not capping it off at 7 books, but to just keep going with the story. It'll be interesting to see if that happens or not. I'm just about to finish the 3rd one. I want to take it slow so I don't finish 5 before 6 comes out, but they're just too good to not devour :D

    The 3rd one is fantastic, especially the last 1/4.

    Im about to delve into the crazy world of Hunter S. Thompson.
    Any suggestions on where I should start?
    Does it even matter?
    Enjoy! His books are so much fun to read. I'd also recommend checking out "Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S Thompson". It's not actually written by Hunter but featues an endless number of commentaries by friends, family members, acquaintences, etc that shed some light on the life that he lead...very entertaining read.

    Thanks!
    I'll make sure to put that on the list.
    That one will probably be good to read after...think i'll start w/ Fear & Loathing.

    Just finished Stuart Neville's Stolen Souls... good read, but I liked his first the best so far, Ghosts Of Belfast.

    Now I need to go through my stack of books and figure out which one to read next... :geek:

    that one is still on my to-do list! i started a couple of times, but couldn't keep focused which is pretty much essential reading something of this calibre. i remember standing in awe of the use of language in this book, which is monumental to say the least.. .

    good luck, and enjoy!

    Started Hater by David Moody... about a 1/3 of the way through and enjoying it so far... I'm pretty sure it's gonna get weird if Guillermo Del Toro picked up the movie rights already... it's a series of 3.

    Yeah, I would go Fear & Loathing and then Hells Angels. If you are not hooked by then, get out.

    I'd begin with 'The Great Shark Hunt'.

    But it doesn't really matter where you start. Read them all.
