To me, one of the main problems with books today is that it seems potential for movie development instantly supersedes any consideration of the books themselves as stand-alone works. And that isn't... |

Well, I hope you're right. I don't know anyone personally outside this forum who is into the Martin books, and few who are even generally as avid a reader as I. You do see fandoms around book... |

My own observation is that in this world, with its relentless drive for 'efficiency' and technology, reading is fast becoming an anachronism. Of course, there are still those who enjoy quiet time... |
