Great American Read List discussion

Wow, 1000 unread books! That makes me feel much better about my 275 unread books. :-)

Thank you for joining the Great American Read List group, Manda, and for creating a personal bookshelf!

I'm glad you'll be reading Siddhartha along with the group; I hope you'll join our discussion and share your thoughts as you read!

I started The Song of Ice and Fire series in April, before PBS's The Great American Read aired. I'm currently reading book 2, A Clash of Kings. In my opinion, it's outstanding! I gave five stars to A Game of Thrones and I'm enjoying the second book just as much.

My to-read shelf keeps growing. I wonder if I'll ever read them all. Maybe someday.

It's been seven years since A Dance with Dragons was released. Fans are still waiting anxiously for The Winds of Winter. I know I'll be impatient for the final two books once I'm caught up with the first five. I'll need an abundance of patience, that's for sure!

Lavan, I've given up on him ever finishing the series.

GoodReads has the publication date set for 2020. I wonder how accurate that is, because it's been pushed up several times. That'd be nine years between A Dance with Dragons and The Winds of Winter. Fans will be going out of their minds by then (if they aren't already)!

He seems to be spending a lot of time on other things. Diana Gabaldon takes a lot of time too, but she does daily lines on her website, so at least you know she's working on it.
