Same purpose, different time frame. I've changed it up, so now these posts will be quarterly. This just gives you readers a chance to post more often. Don't worry too much about what you say about a book, just give a couple sentences about your thoughts, or point us to your review.
To get it started I'll talk about my last "read" (listen), A Dance With Dragons. This is a 1000 page book. While the book gets much better towards the last quarter of the book, that leaves about 750 pages about nothing. Most of the book is Tyrion playing board games, Jon hanging out on the wall, and Danny being a 15 year old girl. Of course more characters had to be introduced in this installment. It really makes me wish I could shake George R.R. Martin and just yell "WORK WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT! STOP ADDING MORE CHARACTERS!" in his face. All that said, the ending did make up for a lot of wasted pages, and I can't blame George for needing some time to set the pieces in place for the end game, and it was certainly better than A Feast for Crows (Why would you ever end a book on a Sam chapter???).

Okay, that was a bit long but so was the book.
