Something to dig my teeth into

I use to read a lot, i mean A LOT!!!
but after i acquired a computer i read less and less Books.
Somehow my thirst for knowledge and stories was satisfied on the internet, or so i thought.
I started watching the HBO series Game of Thrones
I got so wrapped up in this series that i decided to read the books...Game of Thrones is the first of a series of  fantasy novels called A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

I'm am so impressed and totally sucked into this story.
Fantasy is not really my first reading choice , although i enjoy fantasy and sci fi movies and TV series.
The medieval feel and setting makes it very relatable though.

The characters are complicated, good doesn't always win out, there are a lot of life lessons, and definitely don't get to attached to a character. 
I'm now starting Book 3 "A Storm of Swords" and hope it will keep me as mesmerized as the last two Books.
I'm glad i found something i can loose myself in , even if it is just an hour here and there.

Sounds like how I was feeling when I got into the Mists of Avalon series. I'd not been much into fiction but once started, I could not stop until I read the entire series from the last book to the first and then back again.

It seems like everyone is mad, simply mad, for his books! Glad you enjoy them!

I'm glad you found something you really enjoy. What will you do after you've finished this series? Find more fantasy books? There's a lot of good stuff out there.
