Hello, everybody! I've lurked around here for what could easily be years, but never got around to register. Until now. I'm from Germany, I studied history and now I'm working as an archivist. I read A Game of Thrones back in 1997, but then lost sight of the series. Then I discovered A Dance With Dragons in my favorite bookstore, bought that and all previous books and was hooked since then ^_^ I don't have favorite characters, but there are several I find very interesting. For example Bran, I can't wait to see what will become of him! I did watch the first season of the show and the first episodes of the second one, but then stopped, because for me the TV show can't do the complexity of the books any justice. And I don't want to lose my time with fretting about all the changes they make and all the things they leave out. I was quite curios about Oberyn and the Mountain though, so I watched that episode two weeks ago and found it pretty entertaining. Show Oberyn seemed to be just as cool as book Oberyn, at least. Aside from ASoIaF I love Terry Pratchett, BioWare games, Harry Potter, Stephen King and the Roma Sub Rosa series. Among other things ^_^
