Morning, complete newbie here! Fell into the series last weekend - and by fell I mean 'turned on the TV about 10 seconds before Jaime pushed Bran out of the window.' That led to google, which led to the books, which led to a week not quite as productive as it should have been. ;) I'm quite surprised I haven't read them already - I'm no stranger to fantasy, having been a die-hard Tolkien fan for over10 years!
