[books 2014] More Game of Thrones

17. A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin

In parts as gripping as the second half of the first volume, not so much in others (but that could have been me). I'm not tired of this yet.

Hmm...you'd be a good person to ask....

I'm looking for things to read (or better, listen to as audio books) post-surgery. Because academia has eaten my life, I've gone from being a ferociously omnivorous reader as a child to a very narrow one (almost entirely non-fiction in my field) as an adult. I'm not very tolerant right now of things that are stressful (specifically, high suspense or graphic violence), and at least for a little while, I'm likely to be too fuzzy-headed to handle anything particularly scholarly. So, I'm looking for things to read that are entertaining and not too serious. I've run out of Terry Pratchett books. Help?

Given that I spend my life reading crime fiction and supernatural crime fiction, I'm probably not the best person to ask at the moment. If you like Terry Pratchett there's Tom Holt, who does a similar sort of thing. He's not as funny but not bad either. I've got his "The Walled Orchard" sitting here waiting to read - it's ancient Greece-based so you might enjoy that.
