Who says there has to be anything wrong with you? Different readers like different things. That said, you are a little strange if you don't like ASOIAF. :p

Hey now! You were all supposed to say; no, you're not strange, don't be silly, not CONFIRM my opinion!

I started book two because i like to give series a fair chance before deciding on them. I struggled my way through six books of The Wheel of Time that way. Yesss... strange...

Anyway, I understand what you are saying about the complexity of the story, maybe I wasn't prepared for that. But I can't say that I generally dislike reading stories with many characters otherwise I wouldn't like Robin Hobb's Liveship series and that is unthinkable.

I guess that what you are saying, is that it's a series with a much more complex structure then others, and that if you approach it more as if you are studying those multiple storylines, you might get into it more?

That will be interesting after the shallowness of my current read; The tears of Artamon. (shudder)
