wait, you read like 5000 pages in two days?

A Game of Thrones has only about 800 pages. Reading it in two day seems extremely fast, but three days is manageable if you don't do anything else.

 

[_random_]

I cracked open an anthology of HG Wells's science fiction novels. Currently going through The Time Machine.

Oh I had a lot of time on my hands those two days. It was an extremely good book, enjoyed it very much, and sitting outside on a clear, warm day or inside of a hotel waiting for the next game to come up bored me quite a bit and pressed me to finish the book.

Still though, I know that's insane, and I'm only reading about fifty-seventy five pages of a Clash of Kings at a sitting, especially since I found the show on tv.
