Okay so after a 12 year gap I've finally decided to start my A Song of Ice and Fire re-read. Only difference between now and 12 years ago is that I have two kids, so I imagine this might take a while.

So, I'm reading A Game of Thrones. I'm only a few chapters in, but I've already fallen in love with G.R.R's writing style. The first few chapters have so much work to do to set the world up, but he handles it so well it's almost unnoticeable when a character is delivering a lore dump.

I found them interesting in the sense that they were very simple books, compared to Douglas Adam's stuff which was also written for a different medium (I believe/could be wrong there), where he writes in quips and ideas rather than simple plot. Compare that again to Jasper Fforde who comes from writing for movies and his books also feel quite different.
