"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."
I'd started this one a year ago, almost to the month, and stopped after being half way done. It's a daunting book, with a cast of characters that is massive and intertwined. I found that it's a book I need to devour quickly, in just a few sittings, getting through as many pages uninterrupted as possible.
