Another AFFC Review
Stream-of-Consciousness Cynicism reviews A Song of Ice and Fire, paying particular attention to A Feast for Crows. Scroll to the middle of the post for the AFFC review because the site (not to mention the review) is appropriately titled.

Update on ADWD
Via Not a Blog, the last six weeks have been the most productive period George R. R. Martin has had working on A Dance with Dragons in some time and he wanted to let us know that, yes, he's still working on it and making significant progress. In fact, GRRM says he can see "a glimmering that might just be a light at the end of the tunnel." Guarded optimism, indeed.

Behind the Laughter
George R. R. Martin must be feeling mischievous tonight, for he's written two humorous Not a Blog entries. First, GRRM references a YouTube video: The Epic of Hodor. In the second, GRRM posts pictures of what A Game of Thrones would look like if it were adapted in the style of South Park. Personally, I'd like to see GRRM spinoff the series with the Stark Family Smile-Time Variety Hour.

David Eddings: 1931-2009
David Eddings, author of the bestselling Belgariad series, passed away last night at the age of 77. Eddings wrote nearly thirty novels, many of them with his wife Leigh, who died in 2007. His Elenium series was the first fantasy series I ever read and, to this day, I've read more of his works than any other author. Allow me to quote some words of wisdom from Eddings himself:
The Rivan CodexSome [letters] I've received have candidly admitted, 'I didn't really like to read before I got into your stories, but now I read all the time.' Let television tremble. Big Dave and Little Leigh are coming to black out those screens. Maybe that's our purpose in life. We're here to teach whole generations how to read-- not everybody, perhaps, but enough to possibly make a difference. 'They left the world better than they found it,' sounds like a tombstone, but there are worse things you can say about people, wouldn't you say?
Farewell, David. You and Leigh left the world far better than you found it.

Re-reading Song of Ice and Fire
Re-reading Song of Ice and Fire is, just as it sounds, another attempt at blogging A Song of Ice and Fire. This is a true re-read (as opposed to previously mentioned "first reads"), so the posts are more fully-formed and organized. Piotr, founder of the Fantasy Fan web portal, has just completed A Game of Thrones, so this seems a good time to mention the blog as he moves on to A Clash of Kings. Enjoy!
