After about 2.5 years of on and off reading, I finally finished the 5 book pentalogy of A Song of Ice and Fire (which is still missing a few books). Without a doubt, this was the second best adventure/fiction novel I read after Hobbit/LoTR series. The detailed account of histories that go back up to 8000 years (according to the White Book of the Kingsguard), the variety of inhabitants, places, family trees it does take you away into a world full of wonder. I like the brutal reality of the book as well; the most beloved character, Ned Stark, dies half way of the first book!! I read that chapter 5 times to make sure I understood it correctly. Families split, villains all powerful, weak characters suffering; I am not a sadist, but this made the read much more captivating than the usual sunshine-and-bubblegum storylines. Following the HBO Series along with the books was another joy that is a priviledge to only a few generations yet. Looking forward to The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring...Thank you Mr. Martin
There used to be an option in prior windows version where under Folder Options, you would "NOT remember" the view settings. This way, the browsing would be uniform, unless you wanted to change it. I found a way to do it in Win 7. Go to Folder Options\View and click Apply to Folders. This will apply the view in the current window to all folder views.
