Party time again!

[wiseheart]

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

I've never read any George R.R. Martin. They look so huge. Are they very readable?

They're very well written and the first ones are eminently readable if you can stand seeing good guys die unjustly. The two latest books (4 & 5) drag a little in places. If you consider reading them, be careful. It took Martin 5 years to write book IV and almost 6 to write Book V.

Yes, I was a bit worried about starting the series before it was complete. I waited for Stephen King to finish The Dark Tower before starting that.

Maybe the wisest course, yes.
