Right now I'm reading Martin's series.. A Song of Ice and Fire. 

Not the best writing I've read, but solid craftsmanship and combined with the story and characters.. the books are very, very fine. The spirit is especially after my own heart.Smile No silly  Tolkienesque fairy-tale.. just humans being humans, just like we deserve it. Cool

The TV-series is very good too… seems the book was written pretty cinematically,  the dry humor is pretty good, and most importantly. there is no canned laughter if someone says something funny. I hate canned laughter. I hope the person who came up with the idea died of a particularily nasty cancer.

I hope Martin'll stick around long enough to bring the series to it's grisly end.

Strong Motion, Jonathan Franzen.  Makes me miss David Foster Wallace.
