I'm rereading (listening) to A Song of Ice and Fire series, currently in the early part of Storm of Swords. I really fell down the theory rabbit hole in the last couple years and finally decided to reread them all after bouncing off a couple of unrelated nonfiction books I had been struggling through.
I couldn't get past the halfway mark of the second book. Just something about his writing style that just doesn't jive with me. Like the story and characters were interesting, but reading it felt like work.
I found this as well. The audiobooks in particular have a soporific effect on me. Love Roy Dotrice as a narrator but the content is extremely dry, and that is coming from someone who rereads the Silmariliion regularly.
