Mon, December 5, 2005 - 2:44 PMHi Ray,
I'm new to the tribe too. Have yet to get the latest book. Kind of wanted to wait until the fifth book is out. Cersei be damned. I like Jon Snow best and Tyrion. Is it true that neither of them gets much press in the fourth book?
Cheers, Drake -

that's what i hear... and i have to say, i'm identifying with Jon and Tyrion the most. the rest of the Lannisters are complete wankers... -

Re: greetings
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 3:23 PMrofl Ray, that was very civil of you to call them 'wankers'. I'm going to wait to order the fourth book until January at the earliest. Hopefully it won't take another three years to get the next one out. He and Melanie Rawn really tick me off , even though I know a lot of it has to do with the publishing houses.
Cheers, Drake

Re: greetings
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 9:09 PMThe reason the book doesn't include all characters is tha t Martin' 4th book was getting too big so he decided to split it into two books Feast for Crows (which deals with the characters in the South) and the next one "Dance with Dragons" which will deal with the others (Jon, Dani. etc.). The good news is 1) a lot of the next book is already written 2) the series is now planned to go to 7 books. -

Re: greetings
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 10:05 PMWell, personally I like the title Dance with Dragons but I may be a tad bit prejudiced. <G> I'm glad it will go to seven books just so long as it doesn't become an epic like Jordan where it never ends.

Tue, December 6, 2005 - 7:14 AMSEVEN! wow... i had heard about the fourth splitting into two books, but didn't know about the other two. cool! -

Re: greetings
Tue, December 6, 2005 - 7:36 AMSeven books, like the seven gods? Coincidence??? :)
Seriously though, even though there isn't much of Tyrion and jon, I assure you the 4th book is amazing! It has you looking forward to reading different POV's, which you may come to love just as much.
Oh and... Lets all take a minute of silence to hate cersei.

Tue, December 6, 2005 - 10:19 AMJust a minute? awww I've been loathing and despising her since book one. A minute hardly feels like enough. LOL
Ok Ok, you've convinced me. I'll get book 4 if money improves this month. I've had it on my wish list at amazon for years now, so one more month won't kill me. -

Re: greetings
Tue, December 6, 2005 - 1:57 PMShe's the best foil around. Kind of like Joan Collins in Dynasty, the tv series. The Bitch EVERYONE loves to hate. I imagine her only redeeming quality will be when she dies a very painful, long, agonizing death. <keeping fingers crossed>

Re: greetings
Tue, December 6, 2005 - 2:51 PMRachel,
thanks for the offer. I'm really weird though when it comes to books I really love. I only buy them in hardcover. I know, I know, expensive BUT I reread them many times.
Hugs for offering.

Re: greetings
Tue, December 6, 2005 - 4:31 PMI have the hardcover, and you are welcome to it, if you like. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: greetings
Tue, December 6, 2005 - 11:29 PMI too have a hardcover I could pass along...we had to buy two as we're both fanatics and knew we couldn't wait for the other to finish...
Anyone need a copy? -

Wed, December 7, 2005 - 1:51 AMThanks Rachel and Christy,
that is very generous of both of you. I'm waiting a response back from Rachel actually on her copy. You both are really pretty damn wonderful.
Cheers, Drake -

Re: greetings
Wed, December 7, 2005 - 11:48 PMSeems a practical use of an extra book! The offer stands if anyone needs one...and shipping is on me... -

Re: greetings
Thu, December 8, 2005 - 3:22 AMAll I have to say is that Rachel and Christy are indeed absolute angels. Rachel said she was sending me her copy today. I'm still so amazed I can scarcely believe.
Blessings, Namaste, and Happy Holidays!
Drake
