Okay, I'm not actually Texan or anything, sorry. :P I just came to this forum a couple days ago after my love for ASoIaF began to be rekindled by the ongoing production of Game of Thrones. I read the first three novels way back in 2002, and then eagerly devoured (in the metaphorical sense, obviously) A Feast for Crows when it was released in 2005, but I hadn't cracked open any of the books since then. But as I've started following GoT's progress, I've gotten really into GRRM's fantastic world and characters again, and I figured it was high time for a re-read of the books. I just started AGOT a couple days ago.
When I last read the books, I didn't really know anyone else who was into them, so it'll be nice to have other people with whom to finally discuss them. :thumbsup:
Oh, and as for my name...I'm also a big fan of Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe novels, and I also really enjoyed the TV movies based on them, which starred Sean Bean as Sharpe. Since he's now playing two of my favorite characters from two of my favorite series of novels, I figured I'd combine the two. Probably not as clever as I think it was, but I'm usually pretty terrible at coming up with good usernames. :lol:
