Yes indeed, interesting. When I started to read it, I almost gave up a couple of times and was ready to delete it.
However I kept going to the end. The book does become a better read as you get deeper into it. Just about every bad thing is included somewhere, certainly not a book for a sensitive person. It's odd that James became a rather likeable character by the end. I wonder how many small scale versions of him are hidden away in parts of the US?

Both these writers are great, but very different. Martin's are very much the adult version of fantasy. He is certainly not afraid to call a body part a body part.

All three series had some good deals at Fictionwise with the first two volumes for the price of one. Hopefully this is still the case.

Right now I'm reading T E Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom. I've always thought Lawrence one of the more interesting people of the last century and his observations on the Arabs and how they see the world has relevence today.

I actually have Martin's hardcover books. They're some of my Favorite Fantasy books! I downloaded the first two recently. Hopefully but the time I'm done re-reading the first three, the fourth book (I think its "A Feast for Crows") will be out!

I've also downloading the Phillip Pullman trilogy- Definitely for the Harry Potter fans. Excellent Read!

How did you convert it to Mobipocket format?

I used Convert Lit and Mobipocket Publisher. You can use Convert Lit on unsecure books as well as the DRM ones. Some free books give me an error in MP Publisher, but this one compiled OK.

You can get Mobipocket Publisher at www.mobipocket.com and do a Google search for Convert Lit. Both apps are free.
