ASoIaF (and Books in General)
Any fans of A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin?
One of the best fantasy series I've ever read (although not finished yet). The latest book is been out for few weeks now and I'm about to finish it. It's been occupying most of my free time since I bought it - I haven't played a single game since I got the book. Did something like that ever happen to you?

Ooh, I've had lots of books do that to me. I can't remember them all. Pretty much every Pratchett, though. Most of Narnia. Some early Wheel of Time books. A lot of C. J. Cherryh. The First Man In Rome by the same author who wrote Tim and The Thorn Birds. Ehh. Like I said, lots

when I was a little kid I got really confused because I thought guy who played the priest in the TV adaptation, Richard Chamberlain, was the father of Azaria Chamberlain who was the little girl of "a dingo stole my baybay," fame.
The father's name was Michael Chamberlain. Oh well.
