Dances with Dragons: 764 iBook Pages In

I’m still going strong with Dances with Dragons, although I have to say the reading experience feels somewhat different than it did with the other books. Maybe the writing is pretty much the same as the rest of the series, and I’m just getting older or whatever, but it feels like this one leans a little too heavily on revulsion. The over-the-top disgusting bits just come a little too frequently.

One indicator of that showed up on the bus the other day – I was reluctant to even open up the book on my iPad, because I was worried the person sitting next to me might check out what I was reading and get get horrified. I have no plans to stop reading, though. Made it this far.
