Hey, This is my first post and I thought I'll introduce myself: I've been lurking for quite a while and basically learned that I did not catch anything on my first read. I blame it on not having English my first language... By now I'm on my second read and hey, suddenly it all makes (at least some) sense. I started reading about a year ago when I first heard about the HBO Series and read the first two books before the series started. By now I read everything, including the Dunk'n'Egg stories and desperately try to get my family and friends to read it as well. As of now without any luck.... I guess I need to talk to you guys about this epic something that is A Song of Ice and Fire Cheers Susi
