What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

[Albertosaurus Rex]

Geees I didn't know it was such a bad seller! Thanks for the review, I'll give it a look some time.

GRRM recounts in his commentary for Dreamsongs that the book was intended to be his big breakthrough. It got good reviews, but virtually nobody bought it. He then started working on a new novel, Red and White and Black All Over, but as a result, no publisher would touch it, resulting in him mostly abandoning prose (except for Wild Cards) and working in the tv industry for some years.

(Red and White and Black All Over was never finished, but part of it was published in the collection Quartet.)

Currently reading: Pandora in the Congo by Albert Sanchez Pinol. (Or actually the differently titled Dutch translation of this originally Catalan novel.) I read a review of this book some years ago, but it spoiled a rather big twist, so I was discouraged from reading it. A shame, as up to the spoiler it sounded very interesting. Recently, however, I came across the book at a discount price, so now I'm reading it after all. Not sure what to think of it yet.
