I'd like to re-read all of the books in ASOIAF with others who have already read them. The first time through i went too fast and would like to slow down and read them with others. I would also like to read the last two books (AFFC and ADWD) with a combined chapter reading list that puts the chapters in the correct order. We could decide on the pace and how often to get together.

I will not be leading the hike on the trail. I have likely never hiked the trail before. We may get lost. I like to try new trails. I do some research, find ma …
