Re: George R.R. Martin
They are starting to touch on the REAL issue facing their world. Fight for that Iron Throne all you want to people. You have a VERY serious problem coming at you from beyond the wall and it is going to take all of mankind to defeat it.

Um yeah... Rylan you should probably add a note about book spoilers to that post.

As a note, it's not quite as dire as Rylan made it sound with that spoiler, if that helps.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I have decided Tyrion Lannister is awesome. He joins my small list of awesome characters.

Don't look. It makes watching the series much more interesting/exciting.Spangler wrote:I'm scared to look. What book was it from?

Well I just finished A Feast for Crows, so I know whats going to happen. It's that elusive 5th book that I keep dodging.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:Don't look. It makes watching the series much more interesting/exciting.Spangler wrote:I'm scared to look. What book was it from?
I can't have it both ways, but I kinda wish I went into the tv show blind to the books like I did with the 1st season. I just can't wait 2-3 years to find out what happens next.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I just put the first season in my Netflix Q.
Is this going to be like smoking and I'm going to be addicted faster than I realize?

Re: George R.R. Martin
At least the show fans just need to wait a year before the next season. Book fans wait 5+ years for the next book in comparison.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I really hope the wait for Book 6 isn't 5 years... I was fortunate enough that book 5 came out right before I finished 4 so I had no wait.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I read 2-5 in a row after season 1 on HBO. I'll probably go back and read the first book to see what was different.the wicked child wrote:I really hope the wait for Book 6 isn't 5 years... I was fortunate enough that book 5 came out right before I finished 4 so I had no wait.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I wouldn't be surprised. He's been doing a few other writing projects like TV shows and the new Dunk and Egg installment. Looks like the next book is hardly a priority.the wicked child wrote:I really hope the wait for Book 6 isn't 5 years...

It's a good thing book 3 is being split into 2 seasons. It buys some time for the next few books. The show may catch up to the books if it lasts that long.
I just bought Dance with Dragons on Amazon for $18. I'm tired of trying to avoid spoilers. It will keep me busy for a while since I'm still in full ASoIaF mode.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Martin isn't exactly a spring chicken and his stature is a bit like that of samwell, so he better write quick to avoid a Jordan/Wheel of Time debacle.
I also want to note I never read a single WoT book mainly because most who did were pretentious about it. So Im kinda happy the series can't be truly finished.

Interview w Martin. Nothing earth shattering, but talks a bit about his writing habits and such. http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/insi ... pid=ABC587
