Fragile Bird Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 I would love to talk about Fevre Dream since i'm the only bard to have read it so far.Keep in mind GRRM wrote the book in 1982 many years before the politcally correct (PC) movement and more then 10 years before AGOT was published. I would say his writing ability improved considerably over those years but nonetheless Fevre Dream is still the GRRM we know and love (or loath :eek:).There are several tidbits in Fevre Dream that are prescient to ASOIAF. For example several characters share the same names or partial character traits. GRRM also uses the term "pale mare" once in Fevre Dream be on the look out for it and compare the context with its use in ASOIAF. Also let me know which Fevre Dream character you think is GRRM's stand-in.Howling, when I get the book and start reading it, I'll open a thread (or you can) in Literature to start the read. You can open the reading with some non-spoiler comments, and I will continue with teasers for everyone else too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Aw yeah!Apparently the travelling will take more time than actual reading. Anyone cares to guess an estimate when it will reach the next reader? I say FB will read it quickly, like in ten days. Then one week more for the transport. I say the next one will have it around 20th July. Lets see how wrong I am. ;)Will the last person row across the sea in his own boat to hand it to me then? I am on a ferry port :lol:The exchange between JC and Howling would be very interesting then ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
