I really wanna start the new book by Andy Weir, but don’t want too many at once…

Any of you guys(or gals) read the Game of Thrones books? Worth picking them up?
Caveat, I have seen the series, which I enjoyed, but have been told the books are pretty different.
How squeamish are you? I find GRRM distractingly gratuitous, but apparently all fiction should be grittier and all beer bitterer these days.Any of you guys(or gals) read the Game of Thrones books? Worth picking them up?

The Expanse series is a great storyline, but I *hate* the format the books are printed in. They're twice as big as a conventional "pocket" paperback. They're too wide for my nearsighted eyes to read (or my nose is too big...).
Just ordered Earthsea Complete Illustrated Edition on a whim. I'm a sucker for oversized omnibus editions.
Guy Gavriel Kay, Patricia McKillip, Peter S. Beagle, Mary Stewart, Tad WilliamsI'm a sucker for dragons and sorcerers, but haven't heard of this series. Any other authors you could compare this one with? Thanks!
I liked Artemis a lot, loved The Martian and I have Hail Mary in my to read pile.Spent some time at Barnes and Noble on Saturday. Picked up Artemis(couldn't resist) and the first book of Game of Thrones. I haven't been to a bookstore in some time so I have to ask.......what is with these new paperback formats?? Short, wide, pages packed top to bottom and side to side, and flimsy as all get out. Artemis isn't AS bad, decent size wise, but it's still flimsy, but it was the only version they had. GOT I purchased hard back, because the two different sizes of paperback they offered were horrid in my hands.
Looked at several mentioned in this thread(had it pulled up on my phone for reference, actually), but couldn't locate hardbacks for many of them.
Just finished "Shards of Earth" by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and really enjoyed it. What I look for in fiction, quality brain candy with little chance of learning anything useful.
Two of his other books, "Children of Time" and "Children of Ruin" are also worth the time (and Audible credit) in my opinion.
