Horror's Greatest Hits
Olivia McCloskey asked this question about A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1):
How in the world do you keep all of the character straight? I've been reading this book since May and haven't been able to force myself to finish it.

I was able to keep track of the characters by the appendix in the back that lists the houses. I would never lie and say I kept track of them all. People I didn't realize were important, and sort of skimmed over and then realized later were super important, I had to go back and reread the passages that they were in. But really I think it's a series you have to reread and I also have read the fire and ice wiki, that helped me. I always wonder how he (the author) keeps it all straight. I've read authors that had maybe a tenth of his characters and they've gone and changed their name or description of a character in book 8 or something :)(less)
