Be careful even with the appendix. Sometimes that alone is a spoiler. LOL

I am on the second Davos Chapter (if memory serves) on a reread through the series. Still as enjoyable as ever! I am looking forward to picking up all the little things I did not pick up on the first time through :)

So far I'm 1/4 into the book at 250 pages. I really liked Davos' POV chapter. It seems as if things are beginning to speed up with so many twists and turns.

I just finished the book yesterday after about 2 months of on and off reading (exam time and all). I absolutely love it, all the depth and the plot twists are absolutely fantastic. However one thing i will say is that i believe watching the TV series may have ruined my view of Dany, as in the series she is protrayed as basically a bit of a Bitch in my opinion, as she seems to think everything is her god given right to have and everytime i come across one of her chapters i find myself seeing this arrogant child, definately my least favourite character.

On a side note i have a friend who has read from AGOT to the end of ADWDpart 2 in 15 days, wondering if anyone knows anyone who has beaten that?

I've done more reading and up another Dany chapter.

Gosh I was surprised when Stannis and Theon became POV chapters. I prefer Davos over Theon. I did like Arya's chapter when she gets to Harrenhal (just finished it actually). There are so many twists/turns and new characters popping up.

I could do that, If i didn't have work or anything else to do.  

I just finished AGOT  in about seven days, with three of those days with no time to read as I was driving/visiting.   Now i Just started acok.

Reading chapter 22 or something (Catelyn) now. Dany bores me, but I didn't like her in AGoT either. And Jon's chapters aren't the most exciting. But I really like the Arya and Tyrion parts of the story.

Storm of Swords best book in series. Sorry to disappoint, but the series sort of goes down hill from book 3.
