Olorin81 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Does anybody else wish Martin had given titles to the chapters? Perhaps we could make a game of it here. What are some of your favorite chapters in the entire series of books so far and what title would you have given it if you were GRRM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan of Rosby Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 After A Storm of Swords, yes and I wish there was a table of contents as well. I was drowning in a deluge of tedious POV characters and extraneous Essos detail. How about "It's a nice day for a Red Wedding" in a Storm of Swords?

Clegane'sPup Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 ^ lol, I was thinking that a table of contents would be nice. Then one day I found this and it made it easier for me. http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Chapters_Table_of_contents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL good one, or could have just been titled The Red Wedding. And The Purple Wedding for Joffrey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinotaurWarrior Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I wish he'd never stopped naming them after the PoV Character's literal name. I appreciated the no-nonsense way it provided us with the most important bit of context for the chapter. A table of contents could spoil the story to some extent (e.g. knowing someone's safe because they have later PoV chapters) but I've seriously considered attaching a ToC to the back of my copies, by the appendix.

YOVMO Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I always liked the POV chapter headings. It is especially cool, I think, when you stop and try to think about which things in which chapter may be less than reliable based on the POV. That said, I also found the link that @Clegane'sPup used very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Cactus Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Not a song, but the phrase "It was knife meeting you" should've been the last Jon chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksAndSparrows Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Sansa's last chapter in A Storm of Swords and the Prologue of A Dance With Dragons are my favorite chapters in all the books. Maybe "Hey Nonny," and "Abomination!," respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greatmatt Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I really liked what he started doing in AFFC, and I don't see any fundamental reason why you couldn't do it for every chapter. There will be issues in trying to avoid using the same title twice - though I'll actually embrace that for different characters sharing a similar context - and i don't see any good way to do it without some spoilers, still, sounds like fun.
