I'm getting mine shipped from the UK next week. Anyone else in the USA doing this?

For the people that pre-ordered it, the book has already shipped; the sent it early. A bunch of people in the US already have it. Hope you weren't waiting until next week to order it.

BTW, have you all read Hedge Knight or Sworn Sword?

Re: A Feast for Crows
 

So is it not even worth my while to order it from the UK now?

I am actually considering re-reading the first three before I start this. I think it may be more enjoyable, because as of right now I am quite rusty on what has happened so far...or maybe I'll read it, then go back and read all four...thoughts?

*Edit* Probably stupid, but taking a stab in the dark...anyone have a dust jacket for A Clash of Kings they would be willing to part with? Mine got torn up in a move, and it looks silly on the shelf without it. Obsessive, I know.

I think alt.fan.grrm is doing a group re-read. You could just read those threads for relevant info.

They're newsgroups. I'm assuming that you don't use a newsreader, so just use google groups.

This link should get you there.

awsem, thanks.

*Edit* Holy crap, these people are serious! This will definitely catch me up. Too bad I'm not going to get any work done tomorrow.

Re: A Feast for Crows
 

I didn't even think about doing this. The only think I thought was "[censored] you English for getting the book earlier that me." Just Kidding, I have waited over two years from its original announced publishing date, I can wait a couple more weeks.

I just finished the book, and I'm dissappointed.

I have two complaints

1) Not enough happens in the book.
2) I feel like the story is about different people now. I'm starting to feel like by the time we get to book 6, everything that happened in book 2 won't even seem meaningful or important.
