Hello! Fredric Wertham here... trying to catch up with all your informative posts and getting a LOT out of the wiki of ice & fire. Many thanks to Westeros for the excellent work on the research! I'm almost finished reading these highly-addictive books. It's like reading a VASTLY expanded revision of Robert E. Howard's Conan books with considerably more subtext. So far, the TV series has been uniformly excellent - and in many ways, much better than LoTR. Looking FWD to the discussions...
