Michelle has been reading a PDF version of A Game of Thrones on her Nokia 5800. I had been reading the same PDF on my iPhone before I got an ePub version and knew was a chore reading. So I searched for an ePub reader for her phone. A quick search got led me to Wijnands’ blog and to the Dorian reader. It requires Qt which is pretty big but it works great!

A Clash of Kings
Finished A Clash of Kings over the long weekend. It’s about as good as A Game of Thrones, if not a bit better. The saga goes on and there’s still the political maneuverings, the cloak-and-dagger stuff, the skirmishes, and the battles. There’s also a little bit more of magic and sorcery, edging the series from medieval and towards fantasy. Unexpected was the battle outside the walls of King’s Landing towards the end. The battles in A Game of Thrones were rather smallish or seemed like so but this one was HUGE. Though it could have been more epic by adding more detail and perspectives, but it’s good enough as it is. I read there’s going to be a TV version and I wonder, considering the low budget of TV productions, how they’re going to pull this off. It would be sad if they couldn’t.
A Game of Thrones
I persevered and eventually went through the book and soon after The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I also went through the Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys (one book every afternoon after class). During high school, I kept reading: going through Tolkien’s books again, suspense/thrillers notably The Bourne series and even crap like Mills and Boons(!). During college, there was a whole bunch: Robotech, the Robot Series, the Foundation Series, the Clancy books, a bunch of Crichton books, the Dragonlance Chronicles, and more.
The Missing Piece Meets The Big O
I was looking for a short book to read and I ended up with The Missing Piece Meets The Big O. I turned out to be pretty nice. It’s a story about a missing piece looking for the one it belongs with. On one level, it is a nice children’s book but on another level it’s a nice adult’s book. It is one of those classics that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Can’t wait to read Shel Silverstein’s other works. Quite a few but good thing they’re short :D
Devine Combien Je T’Aime
J’ai lu Devine Combien Je T’Aime. C’est un livre pour les enfants mais il est une grand réalisation pour moi! Il est au sujet du un grande lièvre, son fils, et combien ils s’aiment. C’est tres sympa.
