Hello to all three of my followers, how are you doing? It's even possible that I am one of my own followers, but there are at least two of you out there! Anyway, you might have noticed that this blog has not been updated in a very long time. I have decided that I have neither the patience nor the dedication to do a chapter-by-chapter reading of A Song of Ice and Fire, particularly because the chapters are dreadfully short and because spoilers for this series are everywhere. Everywhere. It is a hot current topic and I really want in before the internet ruins everything. For example, I have just accidentally found out that [highlight for spoiler: someone has to perform autocannibalism, or something similar].
However, I will be doing AT MINIMUM a review of each book at the end. If something particularly shocking or noteworthy happens along the way, I will try to post about it. I may also just do infrequent update posts to say how I feel about the characters at certain points in the story.
I think I may try this type of project again, but with something that is less being less urgently discussed and spoiled on the internet. I have in mind a particular nerd classic that I have often heard of but know little about (other than the first 20 or so pages that I read): Dune.

Sad to hear less reviews, but thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteI also just got around to reading Dune for the first time a couple months ago, strangely enough. I think it would be a good book to do in this format.
Welcome back into the Blog-O-Fold! I look forward to your Dune posts.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I should mention that re: the autocannibalism thing, I think someone may have been having a bit of fun with you. (Either that, or there was a hilarious misinterpretation somewhere down the line.) I don't recall anybody eating themselves, and it seems like the sort of thing that'd stick in your mind.
