Greetings. My name is Josh, I discovered AGoT about six months ago and have been completely obsessed ever since. Currently I'm only about halfway through Crows, but I think I have been reading this one slower because I know the next book isn't released yet and I want to prolong the experience. I can't believe it took me 32 years to discover GRRM. He is, imo, the best writer to ever put pen to paper. Ever. When I was a young lad, I discovered the Dragonlance: Chronicles books. Loved them. Never got into D&D or anything like that, but I enjoyed fantasy, I read some Conan stories and Conan comics, the usual. Couple years later my mom gave me the Lord of the Rings books as a gift. I was memorized. To me, at that time, Lord of the Rings and JRR Tolkien was the beginning and end to all things fantasy. Fast forward about 20 years. Now, forget Lord of the Rings. ASoIaF makes it look like child's play. I've been around the block, read a few books in my time (including the Wheel of Time books), I'm actually an editor (non-fiction but still), and I really feel that GRRM is one of the greatest writers to ever live, and ASoIaF is one of the greatest stories ever told.
