    I finally finished The Thin Man

    It had a rather anticlimactic ending! But it was funny

    Currently rereading The Name of the Wind, will probably start soon on some Lovecraft or maybe Hammett's Red Harvest or read one of the awesome horror books my dad got me for Christmas

    Catch-22 is the best. It's one of the only books I can reread and not be bored with.

    I just remember after finishing Feast for Crows, not remember what the fuck happened half the time, or who all these people were. Now that I'm re-reading, I know what's going to happen, I know who people are, and I can picture events bubbling up in my head.

    As for Dance of Dragons, of course I'm anxious to read it, but it'll come when it's ready.
