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?

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.

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.
