re: A Song of Ice and Fire

1) Love it.
2) Really hope I can finish reading the silly thing some time in the next few decades. (700 pages per book? Who does that?)
3) No, I'm not going to watch the tv show.
4) Please don't spoil me past the end of book 2.
5) Yes, I've heard about the wedding, even though I'm trying to remain unspoiled.
6) Even if the rest of the story were not unbelievably cool, Martin would still have my undying love for being the first fantasy writer of my acquaintance to notice that dragons breathe fire and hence should not be eating their meat raw.
7) Love it love it love it.

Weirdly I like the TV show, actually better than the books. But, eh, YMMV.

Books are deeply addictive, if only because Martin does that thing that real history does, which is to kill obvious protagonist/POV types randomly in among all the minor characters.

Also, I love the Wall and what is beyond. Especially that most characters have kind of forgotten it matters.

In conclusion: winter is coming.
