    Amazon have the paperback edition of A Dance with Dragons listed for 15th March release. It means I can finally get round to reading it.

    The DVD of Game of Thrones is released 5th March in the UK. I still haven't seen the show so I think i'll buy the series when it comes out.

    Damn you people!

    I just finished A Clash of Kings last night.... And I decided I'm going to finish watching season 2 of Boardwalk Empire and re-watch season 1 of Game of Thrones before I start A Storm of Swords...

    I'm going to need to take a week of sick leave to catch up... damn it!
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I am very curious to see what happens with the wolves in this season. if they will play more of a role as they did in the books.

    I am curious to see Daenerys cross the desert. The Halfhand. Jaqen H'ghar. Bran. The Mountain. Going to be awesome.

    Finished boardwalk empire the weekend, and polished off a guniess book I've had on my night stand forever (quick read - half the book was guniess history, the other half recipes... gotta try a few down the road)...

    Anyway A Storm of Swords was started last night... I'm only 70 pages in and I was contemplating calling in sick to work today... :oops: .... such a geek.... :ugeek:

    I like them, it seems to be a abridged version. I havent watch the show so I dont know how much they cut out from the books either. But the comics are good for what they are. The art isn't your normal fantasy look either but it does have the normal look and feel of Dynamite comics, so if you know their style.

    I think A Clash of Kings is the series highlight but A Feast for Crows was quite dissapointing. I hope A Dance with Dragons pulls it back. The problem with Crows is that all the best storylines and characters were missing (like Tyrion)

    Dragons brings the people that were missing in Feast and tells what happens with them and kind of ties both books together towards the end. Apparently Martin thought it would not work with all the characters and story lines over one book as it was too big. So he split them up.
