So I finished the so-far published Game Of Thrones books. I'm... I can't really describe it. I'm at a point that I'm quasi-familiar with (Jon Snow, Cersei, Daenarys, Tyrion...) and yet not (Ramsay Bolton, Jaime) and yet I'm not sure how we got there, necessarily, or where we are going. I hope I can sustain the interest until GRRM releases the next volume. I fear we'll never see the concluding work, though.
I'm going to lighten it up a bit and read some Robert Ludlum; I started with The Road To Gandalfo, but that book sucks so I'm regretting that.
