Looks like he's got a lot of signings set up around his visit to San Diego. Mysterious Galaxy is an local independent fantasy/mystery/sci-fi bookstore, and they typically have extra signed copies of books when an author visit. So if you are looking for a signed copy, it may be worth contacting them, since he's signing there a week from Sunday.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
:shock: FINALLY!!!!!! Heading to the bookstore very early to get my copy
For some reason I never got the updates to this thread in email yesterday!
I got it on my Nook. I'm on the third chapter so far. love it! Wish I re-read before hand though. Sorta lost with story lines at the beginning of the chapters.

I've read the prologue and the first 4 chapters ( i read slow and can only read at night :oops: ) but so far so good. Seems to be setting some big things up. I can see the second half of this book being insane.

I'm jumping on this series much later than I did dark tower. But there's a definite parallel in terms of waiting for books to be released. There was some long waits between, but King was releasing so many other books that teased at the 'dark tower' universe that it wasn't so bad to wait.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
I'm only on page 147 but if anyone wants to chat about the first death in the book you should pm me I thought it was pretty bad ass the way Martin wrote it.
edit- oops i meant the second death i forgot abotu the prologue death. I do love how martin kills someone in the prologue every book

I'm on chapter 6 and without giving a spoiler, I must say I am SO HAPPY to see a saying that has stuck with me throughout Jon Snow's chapters is alive again!! You will understand at the end of his chapter....

I am about 100 pages through A Dance With Dragons. I must say that I really like it. One thing I was thinking about was how HBO would approach the series when it (hopefully) reaches A Feast For Crows/A Dance With Dragons. Do you think they might try to work with Martin and merge these two in order to not exclude certain characters for an entire season? They were essentially written to be one book anyway, but the content required breaking it into two books instead.

I noticed that too. I've very much enjoyed jon's chapters thus far
Jervin007- I think i did read in an interview with GRRM that they anticipated merging Feast/Dance for the TV series if the get that far.

If you are reading this thread adn thinking about reading the books or making your way through the books I'm going to highly suggest checking out the 3 prequel novellas that are the Dunk and Egg series.
they are
1. The Hedge Knight published in Robert Silverberg's Legend's Anthology
2. THe Sworn Sword published in Robert Silverbers Legend's II Anthology
3. The Mystery Knight published in the Anthology Warriors
Each is about 100 pages long and take place 100 years before the beginign of Game of Thrones. Some of the history they cover particularly in The Sworn Sword and the Mystery Knight comes up again in A Song of Ice and FIre. The Mystery Knight in particular seems to be hitting on some pretty big things that are takign place in A Dance With Dragons as I read it.
so if you are making your way through it might be worth you time to read these as i think it makes the reading experience more fufilling.
I'm on page 218 and have so much to go but so far ADWD is kicking my ass it so far is leaps and bounds better then a feast for crows.

And now I can't remember, does Brienne appear in book two? Oh my God, I love her so much. I'm almost done with book three and the stuff that happens in it - don't worry, no spoilers - I'm reading some of it in front of my husband and he's sick of me saying, "Oh my God, I can't believe that just happened. Did that just happen?"
Yes Brienne is in book two a good bit actually and Ygritte is in book 2 towards the end.
Ygrite is a fav of mine so i'm excited to see her cast too. I think the Bryce Dallas Howard idea would be cool
Brienne just got introduced where I am at right now. I am also curious how the Iron Islands and the scenes above the wall get done.
Honestly i have no clue how they are going to afford to do a lot of things. I already have resigned myself to the fact that we won't get any of the big fights :(

I wouldn't be so sure of that. They need those scenes to make it a success.

I think HBO is going to be sinking some more money into the series now with the reception it has gotten. But I think season 1 did OK without the battle scenes.
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
Some casting news coming down the pipe:
Melisandre- Carice Van Houten- Played roles in Repo Man and Valkryie
Stannis Baratheon- Stephene Dillane- played Thomas Jeffernson in John Adams
also it seems GRRM teased who the next anouncement will be and it is likely Oliver Ford Davies wil get the role as Gran Maester Cressen
I'm okay with all. Carice looks great for the role in some picks an soso in others but i bet they wil work it out

I hope I can make the los angeles one! I just read he was here in Pasadena in January. I missed that one!
He's a good friend of a friend of mine (who's also a SF writer) and I met him years ago. I'd love him to sign a book. Or all the books. But I really hope he's hard at work writing 6 and 7.

That would be ideal! I don't think we'll see 6 for at least a couple years.
I hope the HBO series motivates him but he's got the first few books done so they're not going to hound him for anything.

A Dance with Dragons is just amazing. Every chapter is worth reading, which can't be said about the other books, and the developing storyline just keeps getting better.

Yesterday i was on facebook looking at the comic con thread for the live stream trying to find info about it.
And someone decides to be an absolute asshole. He has finished the book and just blurts out what happens at the end for no other reason then being a dick. There was no discussion he just completly ruined the book for me. I'm devestated.
I was reading last night and it felt hollow because i know what happens so there is no speculation. Sure i'll read it but man what an absolute prick.
Someone need to find him and flay his penis
