Feast feels like a partial book, as if it had been put into print just to get something out there. Since I'm on a roll and just in time for book five I'll stick with it through that one, but I can't imagine I'll still be interested once book 6 comes out. If it ever does. |

Because it is. It's half of the planned narrative while A Dance With Dragons is the other. Martin elected to split the books by character & location instead of chronologically.
The split was done because the books manuscript was already larger than A Storm of Sword which had caused the publisher problems with it's size (I think it was actually printed in two volumes some places) and I think it was also split so he could get something out since it had been five years. http://www.georgerrmartin.com/done.html |

Okay! I made a decision. My pick wasn't even on my radar before yesterday, but after seeing the amount of interest and reading the synopsis I chose The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One by Patrick Rothfuss. I also treated myself to Storm Front, which I intended to read, anyway.
The fact, however, that previous votes did in fact influence my decision, reminds me to renew the "blind vote" suggestion that was brought forth last month. |

I'll ask Alex if it is a feature he can add. However, I know he has a long list of stuff he wants to do that he has been working on. BOb Last edited by pilotbob; 06-28-2011 at 05:26 PM. |

We can do a blind vote for next month even if the software doesn't do it. We can just send you our vote and you tally and tell us the winner.

Who is voting for Kingkiller or Thrones because it looks like the rest have no chance of winning?

You're assuming Jon that PB has the time, patience, and willingness to do that. I can understand his not wanting to manually count votes.

I have a blind vote everytime. I read the summaries and vote without peeking at results or reading the discussion first.

I have been lurking around the forums but never joined your book-club discussions... But I am hoping to change that this month.
I just looked at the forums and I am more intrigued by your choice of books over the last two months - I like 'some' fantasy (big LOTR fan... enjoyed the HPs...) but I have also read a lot of disappointing fantasy. I am curious to see how this turns out. I voted for Stardust. The description intrigued me... |
