Yeah, I read the HP book pretty quickly (though I didn't devour it in hours like a lot seemed to - what a waste of something that takes years to write - savour it!!). I just finished David Feintuch's Seafort book Voices of Hope (book 5 in the Seafort series... I love 'em, but the main character's almost as tragic as Thomas Covanent).
Now might be a good time to revisit GRR Martin's works so I'm prepared for the new books release
