Been lurking for a WHILE. Have learned a lot, thought more about the series, and thoroughly increased my enjoyment of the books as well as attempted to satiate my undying desire for any further asoiaf action. I live in Texas and have read the series two times--once in mid 2012 and I just finished reading it for the second time earlier this month. I come on here to try to get my fix now that I'm not longer reading the books or watching the show. Thanks to everyone for their great comments, explanations, and theories--crackpot or otherwise. Always entertaining.
