I just finished the first book (A Game of Thrones) and I'm totally sold! Super interesting to read! Though I do have some observations I'd like to share that are hopefully spoiler free.

1. This guy hates his characters. While I can see the realism, but geez a lot of these characters get absolutely sharted upon!

2. Sex issues. I mean really...From the number of times he talks about penises, things happening to them, who they are going into, etc... While I don't mind the sex, Martin has some issues about it/with it thats for sure!

3. Good values don't keep you. As an old school D&D paladin lover, it does kind of hurt that so much suffering happens to those who act with good values. Though we all know that the ideals of honor, duty, dignity, etc won't get you far in life...at least not as far as being a douche will (sometimes)!

4. Such a good analogy of modern politics. A bunch of self serving political types who maneuver, murder, and malign anyone to get ahead. What does that sound like? lol Tinderbox anyone?

I can't wait to pick up the next one! I'm resisting the urge to read up on the rest of the series from the internet. I did briefly read it when I heard about the TV show, but it didn't make a lick of sense.

Littlefinger actually might be the best player of them all.

I love watching peoples reactions to the show.

My wife was all tense when Ned confronted Cersi. "He shouldn't have done that I think"

"Baby you got NO idea." :lol:
