I have the Kindle Fire and to tell the truth so far the only difference between the iPad and the Kindle Fire is 1. The iPad is bigger
2. The iPad takes pictures
3. The iPad cost 3 x's that of the Kindle Fire

I love the Kindle Fire...side note Kindle is coming out with a smart phone to rival the iPhone.

The first four books are out in paperback and Costco has a set for about $20.  There is a new hardcover set of the first four books coming out in time for Christmas for about $90.  Book five was released last July.

Like I said, Tolkien never wrote like this, and I've read almost everything he wrote, including his notebooks which his son edited and published.   But Martin has created a world all by itself with thousands of years of its own History that has an enormous bearing on what goes on.  And the bloody mahem along with the back-stabbing (literally) and some very intensely torrid sexual encounters make this some memorable reading.  This guy does character development like nobody else.

He'll have you hooked by the first 100 pages, and you won't believe how the first book ends.....

Did anyone watch the HBO series??  Sean Bean (Boromir from LOTR,) starred as Lord Eddard Stark, The Hand of the King....

Thanks, I just downloaded it, I think I'll put it on my notebook computer and give it a spin.

Just thinking about "Twilight" makes me want to throw up.

It contains every nauseating aspect of chick flicks to the Nth degree.
