Hi Folks, Like so many it's the HBO series that started me off, but I read all five books in less than two months. Fandom of GRRM seems of a very high quality, so I hope I can live up to your "standards"! I haven't been this excited and into a fantasy universe since, well, Middle-Earth. And in some ways I even like Westeros/Essos better! Hope I can contribute. Ashiata
