i have been told I should read Preacher many times
I've only read a few comics/graphic novels.

With the obvious exception of Watchmen
Preacher is the best standalone (ie you don't have to verse yourself in swathes of backstory) comic I've read. It's hilarious and massively compelling. READ IT READ IT NOW

I would advise you to get on the Song of Ice and Fire series immediately thereafter
but am willing to bet you're way ahead of me there

yeah
read them as they came out, although I have a vague plan to reread before I read the latest one, since I think I read the first about 1999. Still not seen the series

Show off ;-)
Am only about 150 pages into A Storm of Swords; Steel and Snow. Hoping the sixth one might be out before I'm caught up. Have seen three episodes of the series, it's excellent, but by necessity it feels a bit rushed because they couldn't possibly capture that level of detail.

in which case you are not far off the
"OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!" moment. As each of us read that, you'd see them mope around the kitchen, comforted by those who had read before.

no more spoilers, bt brace yourself

Is it a bigger shock than the first book's "OMLG they did NOT just do that!" moment?
You know, towards the end?

JOFFREY YOU CUNT!

I tell you what, as soon as I saw a picture of the cast for the TV programme
I pointed at the lad who plays Joffrey and said "He must be Joffrey. He looks like a contemptible little shite". Excellent casting, that.

The sixth one won't be out for a good ten years, judging by his past performance.
In fact, he's getting on a bit, he'll probably die before he finishes it.

That would be a bit shit
We'll get a half-arsed conclusion to the series by Christopher Tolkien or someone

there was 5 years each between the last 3 books.
And in Dreamsongs he admits to starting and not finishing loads of series'. Having said that, Feast for Crows wasn't as good as the early books, so maybe he just needs ot leave it be... :(
