I am a quick reader as a rule. There are books that can be read quickly and one knows exactly what's happened by the time the conclusion is reached. On the other hand, the ASoIaF books are so deep in terms of the world and the characters in it, that my initial 'quick read' has left a fair few niggles and unanswered questions floating around in the ether. It's not as easy as it sounds though, this slowing down. I suppose it's akin to the way one writes..I'm a quick writer too and consequently, not very neat (my colleagues often tell me it's worse than a doctor's scrawl, though I beg to differ!)
Back to it then...slowly!
