Ok, I have to admit something: I didn't read Dance, because it is not translated and distributed in my country yet and buying it online would end up costing me over 100$ thanks to strict laws and ruinous post and delivery rates. So, I wanted to know, how many posters of this forum didn't read...

Dynamite Comics have announced an adaptation of the George R R Martin novel A Game of Thrones. Due for release in September the book will adapt the first novel in the series (obviously) It seems one successful TV show and everyone want s to do their bit!! Written by George R R...

Which character sent the letter and why? Why did GRRM send the letter? Do you suppose Mance sent the letter, so that Jon would leave the Wall to the Wildlings?

I'm hoping there are going to be things i missed that I can think about before i do a re-read Prince Aegon MIGHT be alive, unless it's a trick. I think it's the real Aegon Arya will make a fine Faceless Prepubescent Girl Jon is dumber than we all thought. After seeing his own Lord...

Also my ears hurt from the damn headphones clamping down on them for the past week or so. I just have to say that my self imposed exile to avoid spoilers (ever since the Amazon-Germany debacle made me really appreciate how mcuh I love this board. As for the book I'm somewhat...

I just finished ADWD so I'm especially pessimistic right now. 4-5 years from now he'll announce he's adding a book and some of the chapters or characters are being pushed to that book so when he gets it all sorted out we'll have the finished product in a year or so. What, too soon...

I have a friend, Creampuff, who has not yet read AFFC. He's interested in reading AFFC and ADWD together in chronological order. I've read both and I've advised him not to attempt this because at one point there are twenty-two concurrent POVs. I feel this is too much to keep straight... yet...

Okay, i'm more or less 1/3 in the book. And i'm starting to wish Dany drops dead this instant. I can only hope she redeems herself in next 2/3 of the book. To me she is like a child playing at queen. She's mucking things up left and right. I've never was all that fond of her character, but is...

Okay, the day is almost upon us, so here is a thread dedicated to the discussion of A Dance with Dragons. This thread is intended primarily for those who have finished aDwD and wish to discuss it at length. I'd counsel steering clear if you're only part-way through. There will be spoilers...

Apologies if this has been covered in depth before, but I've just been reading over old threads here and see a lot of assumption that there's an impending showdown between The Mountain and the The Hound. I thought we had confirmation that The Hound was dead. There is someone else haunting the...

SPOILER RATING: Miniscule and vague to non-existent. Nothing of note is spoiled here at all, but the ultra-paranoid may want to hold off on reading it. From the Wall to Slaver’s Bay, the world is blighted by war and chaos. In Westeros, the War of the Five Kings continues to rumble on, as...

A Dance with Dragons is only a week away. It seems like we've been waiting forever, it seems a little unreal that the big day is just around the corner. I'm about half way through AFfC in my series reread (and I'm patting myself on the back so getting the timing about right) in preparation...

With the next book almost coming out i though it might be fun as to speculate at what events you believe will come to pass in the next book. After the book came out, we can all have fun to see how much we guessed right, and were we where tottally of the mark. For example: Osha and Rickon will...

So, how will you go about reading ADWD? Will you go out and buy it the day it comes out, and sit and read it non-stop until you are finished? Will you take a leisurely pace in order to soak it all in? Read it quickly, and then read it again to catch anything you missed the first time? Will you...

Yesterday I finished rereading AFFC.The part when Qybyrn told Cersey, that the man who will fight in hers protection is ready and is invincible, impressed me this time:rolleyes:. This may be the only The-Мountain-that-rides. May be Qybyrn made him Unmountain. What do you think?

While sleeping with his head resting on a weirwood stump, Jaime dreams that he is at home, in the Rock, and that he has both his hands. Then he sees that he is surrounded by a dozen tall figures in robes that hide their faces and with spears in their hands. They drive him down deep into the...

Joe Abercrombie interviews George R.R. Martin on-camera. Part 1 and Part 2. Grab 'em before Sky gets them taken down :-D

[Spoilers!!!] When I read the books, Ned always came across as one of the few people in the world who were trying to do selfless good. After all, we followed his internal expositions and reasons for his decisions. However, watching the second episode of the TV series of GOT, and...
