when I was a kid I loved George R. R. Martin's short stories, and I noted several good novels mentioned his writing classes in the dedication (_Frostflower and Thorn_) , the author's note, or in some other ancillary bit. But when GOT first came to my attention, I was horribly busy, 2 full times jobs AND 18 credit hours. After college, I tried it, and somehow - I couldn't finish any of the volumes, though a I read a few hundred pages of each.
