Books two and three overlapped in time frame, so did four/five/six. I enjoy this. There are a lot of websites that give refresher recaps so you can remember everything that happened. But the gaps for GRRM are understandable, even if frustrating. Keeping track of 50+ storylines, making sure they none of them contradict, remembering all the little details so that things make sense and don't defy canon. Still, there is nothing like re-reading these books. They are an undertaking, but we have nothing but time. The Winds of Winter won't be here until 2016. (for now...)
Anyhow, I am just waiting for GRRM to confirm what I already know to be the ending.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
