Greetings to my fellow A Song of Ice and Fire brothers and sisters. To say I love A Song of Ice and Fire would be an understatement. As an attorney who deals with very stressful situations and sometimes very unpleasant people A Song of Ice and Fire has helped me shut off the stress while at home making me more pleasant for my lovely wife who deserves a happy husband. George R.R. Martin has created such an amazingly detailed world it's just easy to lose yourself in the pages. I wasn't a fantasy fiction fan before I picked up A Song of Ice and Fire. I've never even read Tolken, which I'm sure is rare in this community. I've been to our State's Renaissance Festival for eight years now and have always loved it. Mostly, I read non-fiction books or military spy novels, but HBO "Game of Thrones" got me hooked and as soon as the first season ended I purchased the books one at a time and read each one after the other in three months. Now I've even convinced my wife to read them and she loves them. My wife is more than half way through Clash of Kings now and she loves it, which is again definitely not a genre she has ever been interested in before. My wife thought there would be too much killing and war scenes for her, but after some convincing to give them a try she's a big fan now. I've been going through the Wiki of a Song of Ice and Fire and just basically learning every scrap of information I can about the history of Westeros and Essos. It's really amazing the world George has created for us all and I don't think I'll ever be able to repay him for what he's given to me. I think all you guys here are great and just seem like amazing people as well. I'm really happy to be a member here. Thanks.
