A Song of Ice and Fire
I just finished the first book of the A Song of Ice and Fire series via a loan from a friend. The book is incredibly good, written from the perspectives of a different character every chapter, creating a lot of dramatic irony that is incredibly useful to aid the storytelling. Also, the incredibly deep history, geography, and cast are presented at the perfect pace. It turns out that buying all 4 currently published books on Amazon will run about 27 dollars initially, enough for free shipping, but then a $3 discount applies, so the total is less than 24. Sweet. I'll be reading some more about this soon.
By the way, the urgency of this order is very important when noting that the series will have 7 books when finished. There were many more plotlines created in the last three chapters than there were in the entire book up to that point. None of them were resolved, and I need to know before I go mad.

I haven't read a fantasy novel in some time (barring the Harry Potter novels, if they even count). Last series I was really into was Dragonlance. That was probably ... 10 years ago.
Are you an avid Fantasy reader or did this series just pique your interest?
I am not an avid reader of FICTION, let alone fantasy novels. The only fantasy series I have ever read is the Lord of the Rings, and I find this to be better. I was recommended this series by a friend (yay Joe Chrisman) and I needed something to read on the plane/trains .
I am also a huge fan of A Song of Ice and Fire. I think it is better than LOTR.
