Hi Scott! I really DO think you should give Martin another shot! See if Novel 1 :"A Game of Thrones" is in a local Library, don't even check it out! Just read the Prologue and Chapter one with an open mind and tell me if you can walk out without the book in your hand!
I believe I read several chapters before putting it down. That was the book I had.
I felt the same way (read the same amount). Everyone seemed sexually active (the authors' descriptions didn't leave much to the imagination). I browsed through a few later novels and the language didn't get any better.
