Hi everyone!! :cheers: (You need a waving smilee!)
First ever post!! From what i gather this is the best SOIAF forum on the web, so figured i'd join in!
I first heard about the series after a recommendation from another forum member on a LOTR collectibles forum after looking for similar epic-style fantasy stories. I checked some reviews on Amazon and saw all the praise and instantly went to Waterstones in Norwich to get my copy of A Game of Thrones. Of course, i was soon addicted. This was all before i had heard about the (possible) TV series so i am thrilled that i have actually got into something so good before a big movie/TV series introduced me to it!
A little about me - my name is Jon and i live in Norwich, UK. Oh and i'm 26. Obviously because of my name i like the character of Jon Snow, and i also identify with him because he starts off quite low down, but dreams of so much more, and like Jon i like to have my own furry companion around. I'd love a direwolf but the dog will do! So there you have the secret to my board name.
As far as the series, i have read the first and am just over halfway into the second. Jon and company have just made camp at the Fist, so i'm going to try and stay away from any spoilers!
Anyway, i'd best be off and update my profile and whatever else i can do!
