Hutch, honeyed chicken and King Tyrion I - thank you all for the warm welcome. Actually, I really don’t mind the spoilers since it helps keep me up-to-date with everything. It will be a while before I even reach the fifth book (not that I’m rushing or anything). Knowing what occurs beforehand increases the anticipation, so when I finally arrive at that moment the feeling is, “Oh…so that’s how it happened.” At first, I started not to read the books. The series in itself felt rather intimidating, since there are a number of books that make up “A Song of Ice and Fire.” And I didn’t want to get into that part, as I was content in just watching the show. This is something which happened before with other shows (or films), which were based from pre-existing material. However, it became clear that reading was necessary, if I hoped to discover what went on beyond the television screen. There is so much awesome information that I would’ve missed. But either way, I’m thankful for having the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. You’re right, I better get cracking on those books. But I’ve almost completed the first one. :)

There is a problem I’m running into with the avatar. It appears in my profile window, but not after posting. I also used Gravatar. Nevermind. It's working after I used the first option.

Greetings everyone, As a newcomer to the forum, I wanted to stop by for a brief introduction. I became involved with this series by way of the television show, which was highly recommended from a sibling. A few episodes were all it took for me to become hooked. From that moment on, my interest grew and I began visiting the Wiki, in order to learn more about the characters and events that helped shape, “A Song of Ice and Fire.” The following step led to reading the books, which I’m extremely grateful for that experience. At the moment, I’m currently reading, “A Game of Thrones.” When I’m not immersed in practically anything from the world of Westeros and beyond, I can usually be found in front of the sewing machine, reading (literature of various forms and comic books), enjoying movies (fantasy, science fiction and horror are favorites), playing video games and sports. Guess I had better wrap this up right here. But I look forward to exploring more of the forum and participating in many discussions. Thanks for your time and I hope to see you around the message board.
