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 915 Views
Arya may not be "good"... ironclad - 18/03/2010 09:15:46 PM 967 Views
Do you think a child can be evil? *NM* Beqi - 18/03/2010 09:18:06 PM 398 Views
We sometimes hear about kids doing horrible things ironclad - 18/03/2010 09:41:30 PM 801 Views
Is that because they may not understand the consequences of their actions? Beqi - 18/03/2010 09:45:33 PM 891 Views
Most likely, yes. Plus their reasons for doing bad things lack deeper inferior motives. ironclad - 18/03/2010 10:09:25 PM 903 Views
Arya is old enough to understand cause and effect... Napoleon62 - 18/03/2010 11:04:31 PM 1013 Views
Soldiers do the same thing. LadyLorraine - 19/03/2010 03:23:35 AM 843 Views
Just what I was about to say, yeah *NM* ironclad - 19/03/2010 07:55:47 AM 360 Views
Soldiers kill for the sake of their country, their cause, or their hope... Napoleon62 - 19/03/2010 11:24:16 PM 1240 Views

Arya is not a soldier. Soldiers are not individually responsible for the results of war. Cannoli - 20/03/2010 11:22:43 PM 1017 Views
Arya is legitimately the most evil... Napoleon62 - 18/03/2010 09:45:04 PM 1203 Views
No, she's not A Deathwatch Guard - 18/03/2010 11:45:23 PM 851 Views

Sort of. Cannoli - 22/03/2010 11:37:04 PM 823 Views
I've read them a few times. Werthead - 21/03/2010 01:47:52 PM 913 Views
Just a "few" times? fionwe1987 - 21/03/2010 06:07:14 PM 958 Views
Only three times. Werthead - 21/03/2010 11:20:12 PM 866 Views
Who is Jon Connington? Napoleon62 - 22/03/2010 01:30:44 AM 1009 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 1253 Views
It really shocks that I'm going to say this. LadyLorraine - 23/03/2010 03:23:28 AM 827 Views
To clarify, "evil" means VERY, VERY BAD. Cannoli - 23/03/2010 01:12:39 AM 1076 Views
your problem is you seem equate legality with morality imlad - 24/03/2010 04:07:42 AM 814 Views
