    I just passed the 700 page mark of a storm of swords...

    holy f#ck!

    I now understand why mamasan has been throwing the book at the wall repeatedly. :lol:

    (slow going I know - I actually didn't have the time to pick up the book for a week and a 1/2... run ragged with work/spring time chores)
    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.

    that was a crazy part of the story. That is why we need Season 3 for TV i assume they will end season three with that portion of the story that drives eveyrone crazy (assuming they split book three into two season

    I have not forgiven Theon Greyjoy for pulling puppy Summer out of Bran's arms, holding him by the scruff of the neck and preparing to nonchalantly kill the wriggling pup. Then when Rob said "No," he looked at Rob icily and said "I take orders from your father, not you."

    No no I'm pretty sure you've read the "crazy" part. The end of the book is more of a reveal which is wild but not "crazy"
    The part that you throw the book agains the wall is the biggest holy shit of the series so far for me

    I as well have HATED Theon from that very scene! You're really going to love the stories as they go on and the wolves get more involved with everyone.

    :D You know me too well, Lady Mamasan23.

    I am so happy to have all of this in front of me!!! (I'm only as far as the final episode of last season right now _ and on the audio book, up to the point where Danyerius is now pregnant.)

    I'm savoring every single hour I get to listen.

    And I am LOVING my House Stark Direwolf sigel t-shirt. I am planning to wear it to work on Friday. 8-)

    ;) Fellow dog lovers must stick together!

    Where did you find that shirt? I'd love to get one!

    I was watching extras on the blu-ray the other day and some of the cast were saying that when Maisie - the girl that plays Arya - was doing just the read through of the scene where she throws the rock at Nymeria she was crying. That was insanely tough to watch, I just wanted to hug the pup!

    Shirt is from the HBO website, but when I Googled GoT t-shirts, I found a lot of interesting versions.

    Last night, right before bed, I watched the scene where Nymeria is driven off. And of course, when Lady was killed. That was so awful, I had nightmares all night about my dogs.

    I love the scene when Tyrion Lannister keeps swatting Joffrey across the face. The little bastard. (J, not T.)
