I finished #AGameOfThrones last week. So now I'm going to jump back over to nonfiction, and more specifically #USPresidents.

I've had #TheLeadersWeDeserved on my bookshelf for about a year, and it finally feels like the right time to dive into it.

It's very large. And it's very very....dry. Still, looking forward to it greatly.

For the first time in what feels like years, I've not picked up a controller in a week.. and it's been fun. I've basically watched #TedLasso and gotten through most of #AGameOfThrones in that time.

To be honest, after mainlining #HogwartsLegacy and finishing #Bloodborne in the last few weeks, I was in need of a breather. Especially with Starfield, Trine and Lies of P on the horizon.

Even now, 12 years on from when I originally read it, I find the Dani chapters the most difficult to get through.

I *think* it's because her plot is so seperate from the events of the rest of the book, I find it difficult to care about an awful lot of what's going on over here when there's so much more interesting stuff going on back on Westeros.

So, I finally finished #AGameOfThrones (first time in English, second time overall) after over a month.
Martin's writing is as captivating as ever, and while it starts at a brisk pace, the latter chapters get more like they continue to be for the rest of the books (a bit long-winded on some things).
I felt as though I understood more of his intentions, and made me think of posibilities I hadn't considered before.

🔦 "Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you"

-- I'm sure, this phrase said by Tyrion Lannister to young Jon Snow was quoted thousands times, but I just started read the book, and this is really impressive.

#ReaderProblem: I bought a copy of #AGameOfThrones to finally read it in English, and to make it match with the other #books in the series I already had, I bought the #massmarket #paperback with a TV series cover.
My sweaty hands threaten to erase words even if they just hover over a printed line, and it's already getting yellow in the place I grab the pages.
Most other MMPs I own are better, at least with the ink.

In a move that surprised even myself, I'm now reading #AGameOfThrones for a second time, the first being in late 2015 and in Spanish and now in English.
It somehow doesn't feel dated at all, even if some of the character descriptions are silly or weird because of the series (the overly pretty Joffrey or the toad-like #Tyrion). Maybe it helps that I'm familiar enough with the archetypes Martin is playing with, so it doesn't bother me.
