I have, for some time, been bad at reading. After devouring literature throughout my childhood, college and/or the internet ruined me, and I've been an inconsistent reader, at best, ever since (although I had no trouble zipping through Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy). I'm currently working on Undaunted Courage, and finding myself surprised at how good it is, but I'm also considering the next book. I'm actually hoping that having something next on the readlist (I just made that up. Like a playlist?) will encourage me to finish the current tome.

So, here's the thing: Thanks to all the Star Trek threads, I've been thinking about re-reading Dune. I read it ages and ages ago, but don't remember it terribly well. Thanks to getting lost in fan-wikis multiple times and all the hype, I've been thinking about trying out A Song of Ice and Fire. I've never read that.

Opinions?
