I read a short blurb about one of George RR Martin's non-ASOIAF book, "Fevre Dream" and it sounded interesting - has anyone read it by chance? Vampires and riverboats, sounded like an interesting mix.

Wait what?

I've never heard of this but I swear I had a dream about vampires taking over river boats and all that it entailed a while back. It was very, very strange. Maybe I've heard of the concept somewhere else, but I can't recall it until now.

Except for in my dream-verse, that is. Have you mentioned it waywardly anywhere else?

I mentioned it briefly two days ago in the Project Mayhem book topic, mainly just the keywords "vampires" and "riverboat". But you haven't been there in a bit, and I certainly hadn't mentioned it before then.

Riverboat vampires must be one of those dreams of the shared collective.

In my dream-verse it was English canal boats, and not old American river-boats though. I just looked up the book out of curiosity.

This is really, really strange. Because in my dream there was some kind of a link to George R. R. Martin too. I must've heard about this somewhere, I just can't for the life of me figure out where.

I think I bought that one a while back, but completely forgot I had it. Off to search the bookshelves for it. Thanks for the reminder.

Oh hey, book thread. Cool!

As one of my new year resolutions, I decided to try to read more books. I got a. Barnes & Noble gift card from my brother, so I decided to get The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Paper Towns.

I just started Perks, and it's pretty good so far! I like the diary sort of format. I've been wanting to read it for a while, but never got a chance to, and it's not disappointed me so far. The main character seems pretty relatable and odd, which I like. I'm only on the first part, so I can't give my full thoughts about it yet.

Eh, I would rather have my own books than borrow other peoples. Plus I didn't know what else to get, so I just got them to spend the money.

I haven't read books in like over a year, but I read all of the Game of Thrones books in english in 2011-2012. I also got Stephen King's the Stand in english that I told myself that I wanted to read but haven't yet. Bought the whole Wheel of Time series except the last book in english, but I'm still on the fifth book. Read the series previously ten years ago in swedish, but decided to start it over from the beginning this time in english. I should really pick it up again. It's only 14 books lol.
