Greetings all! I live in Alberta Canada and I am a huge fan of the Ice and Fire series. I actually have not read one page from the books as I started to lose my vision in 2003. I am not completely blind but I am unable to read text for long period of time due to strain. So, I listen to audiobooks. Thrones was my first purchase and soon I had all of the series and almost every other book published of George\s writing. I happily own an autographed hardcover of Tuf Voyaging. I have listened to the 4 books in the series over 15X, some sections more. George is my all time favorite author, I am also very fond of Lois McMaster Bujold, Jack Vance, Arthur C Clarke and John Heledman to name a few! I have listened to over 500 books in the last 3 years, and actually detested having to read when I was younger. Nice to meet you all and look forward to chatting!
