Why is it that only now, after you've said this Boaz, that it become so blindingly obvious that that needed to be said!
Let me qualify this... Mark, get a degree that will get a JOB/CAREER. I elected to go to university AND graduate school so I spent 7 years and $160,000 getting a law degree and I can't get a job to save my life. I might go to work at Costco (Tesco for the Brits) and have no hope of ever paying off my student loans.Oh yeah, Mark, from someone in his thirties who elected not to go to university thinking that three years experience would be just as good: FINISH YOUR DEGREE. And work your arse off for at least a 2:1. And be glad you're going now, before Dave hikes tuition fees AGAIN...
Meaning, go get a bachelor in Maths and then Masters in Stats. ahahahaLet me qualify this... Mark, get a degree that will get a JOB/CAREER.

University is only worth your time and money if you have some idea what you want to do with your degree and are obtaining a degree employers want. If you're just going to "find yourself" or study literature/books/humanities... get a job and join a book club.
*edit* since you called it uni, I suspect you might not be an American. In that case, you can disregard most of what I said, because as far as I know Europe does not have the problem of bankrupting all its citizens that go to college by saddling them with crushing student debt!
MWagner, the defenestration and the second execution were the big surprises for me in AGOT. But as you've mentioned, Tyrion's POV's against the totality of the Stark perspective on the Seven Kingdoms really piqued my interest... that... and the fact that after the prologue introduced demons, everyone enjoyed staying ignorant of their encroaching doom.
Is it strange i dislike loud cover art, and prefer minimalistic covers?

I just go by reviews. I've read terrible books with really good covers and I've read good books with awful covers. It is true what they say "you shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
