Reading Notes

Just an update on my reading.  I finished Daughter of the Empire moments ago and will have thoughts on it after I get some sleep.  Now I need to decide what to read next.  I'd initially planned on Storm of Swords, with the idea of reading that so that I was all prepared to begin Hugo readings.  But now I'm wondering if I wouldn't prefer a slight break from medieval politics.  So what now, then?  Keep going with Storm of Swords?  Start in on the Hugo books (perhaps a light one, like Old Man's War)?  Or keep putting off Hugo reading and instead go with something else, like the Tiptree Awards Anthology or The Left Hand of Darkness?
