What are you reading?

I'm reading book 1 in the "Game of Thrones" series.

I like it a lot, great writing, it's very evocative and it keeps moving ... but my god is it long.

I might need to put it aside for awhile so I can actually read a few other books I have queued up for this summer.

Question for those that have read the "Game of Thrones" series, is it worth it?

I know that is a subjective question.

It's a just such a huge time investment. I haven't had more than an hour a day, to read, for a couple of weeks; I don't feel I'm making a lot of progress with the book, I'm only 50% through book 1 after 2 weeks of reading. For the first time ever I'm tempted to skip the books and watch the television show. But I *know* I will get much more out of the book. I just can't decide if its worth it yet.
