Folks who are reading A Dance with Dragons, what are you thinking so far? I'm not looking for spoilers, just like it/don't like it? Are you hooked?

I don't know if it's me or not, but I'm having a really hard time getting into it and I'm certainly not hooked yet. I've read about 10% so far. I don't dislike it, but I have no great drive to read it either. "Meh" sums up my feelings so far.

I don't think it's because my expectations were too high, though I do suspect it's something wrong with me personally and not the book. I'd much rather experience this through the show instead of reading -- one hour once a week and see lots of stuff happening vs slowly reading every day and so little happening. I think my attention span has shrunk to a new low, blah.

This hat is so cute that I couldn't resist buying it.



In my younger days, I would have gleefully worn it outside of the house, but I find that now I worry about looking silly. I have a big stuffed wolf plush that it should look really cute on, so I can display it there between wearing it sneakily around my apartment.

In other news, I RPed on Hordeside tonight for the first night in ages. Random RP is so hard to find. Good random RP is, as my mother would say, "rare as hens' teeth". Still, I had a very short okay (okay for WoW) scene. I found a guy with an amazingly creative RSP, so posted at him, but he went AFK seconds later and DCed in a few minutes. D:

I'm really itching to RP Keen though, so I'm going to keep trying.
