Only three times. Werthead Send a noteboard - 21/03/2010 11:20:12 PM
I read AGoT and ACoK together in 1999, then ASoS in 2000. Then all three again in 2003, then AFFC on release in 2005, and then all four again at the end of last year and start of this.

So three times for AGoT and ACoK and twice for ASoS and AFFC. I simply haven't had time to re-read any more than that. I've actually read MAGICIAN, the NIGHT'S DAWN TRILOGY, the first six WoT books, LotR and a few Pratchetts and Clarkes far more.

In a way I suppose my position on Westeros.org and constant discussions of the books means rereading the whole thing as a refresher for the memory is unnecessary. If you know who Jon Connington is from memory, you're probably good to go for ADWD without having to reread the series ;)

Confusing likability with goodness Beqi - 18/03/2010 08:59:40 PM 829 Views
Arya may not be "good"... ironclad - 18/03/2010 09:15:46 PM 879 Views
Do you think a child can be evil? *NM* Beqi - 18/03/2010 09:18:06 PM 351 Views
We sometimes hear about kids doing horrible things ironclad - 18/03/2010 09:41:30 PM 710 Views
Is that because they may not understand the consequences of their actions? Beqi - 18/03/2010 09:45:33 PM 786 Views
Most likely, yes. Plus their reasons for doing bad things lack deeper inferior motives. ironclad - 18/03/2010 10:09:25 PM 816 Views
Arya is old enough to understand cause and effect... Napoleon62 - 18/03/2010 11:04:31 PM 914 Views
Soldiers do the same thing. LadyLorraine - 19/03/2010 03:23:35 AM 746 Views
Just what I was about to say, yeah *NM* ironclad - 19/03/2010 07:55:47 AM 321 Views
Soldiers kill for the sake of their country, their cause, or their hope... Napoleon62 - 19/03/2010 11:24:16 PM 1136 Views

Arya is not a soldier. Soldiers are not individually responsible for the results of war. Cannoli - 20/03/2010 11:22:43 PM 922 Views
Arya is legitimately the most evil... Napoleon62 - 18/03/2010 09:45:04 PM 1096 Views
No, she's not A Deathwatch Guard - 18/03/2010 11:45:23 PM 767 Views

Sort of. Cannoli - 22/03/2010 11:37:04 PM 731 Views
I've read them a few times. Werthead - 21/03/2010 01:47:52 PM 823 Views
Just a "few" times? fionwe1987 - 21/03/2010 06:07:14 PM 873 Views
Only three times. Werthead - 21/03/2010 11:20:12 PM 781 Views
Who is Jon Connington? Napoleon62 - 22/03/2010 01:30:44 AM 916 Views

ROFLMAO. Most people complain that my values are medieval & out of touch with the modern world! Cannoli - 23/03/2010 01:54:58 AM 1151 Views
It really shocks that I'm going to say this. LadyLorraine - 23/03/2010 03:23:28 AM 738 Views
To clarify, "evil" means VERY, VERY BAD. Cannoli - 23/03/2010 01:12:39 AM 983 Views
your problem is you seem equate legality with morality imlad - 24/03/2010 04:07:42 AM 728 Views
