I've not read SW in years either -- I stopped somewhere in the middle of the NJO because I got tired of the Vong and their gruesomeness. And Mara going on about spores invading her womb. UGH UGH UGH. I guess it got better and I know some people who are still reading but I sure don't have the energy for it anymore. But River and Mara are completely an OTP.
