Has Charlie tricked us? Again? Lucky for him we are enjoying the George Martin series a Song of Ice and Fire. Unlike Robert Jordan's two hundred, er, eleven and counting books, Martin's series will be much shorter. The problem isn't so much the final number of books, as it is the amount of time between books. I simply cannot remember the story line when I have to wait a year, or more, in between books! Thanks, though, Charlie. We are enjoying these.
