Hello :)

Haunting the boards for a while, then felt I had to join. It's the conspiracy theorist in me, those things are just too interesting. That, and I know no-one in real life with whom I can have book discussions.

Nice to meet you all!

You have come to the right place - welcome!

I technically did this ages ago but I feel far more attached and involved in teh forum recently- I'm a recently finished med student/ recently qualified doctor from the UK. I love rugby, musicals and performing music in addition to books. I read ASOIAF because someone on a WoT site said they were basically necessary to read ages ago. I didn't get into the books until a fair way through Clash, now I love them of course. I also follow the show. I apologise for any flippancy or sarcasm, or pedantry and strong opinions, on my part

Congrats! :D I've read a few of your posts, and haven't read anything unusually harsh in them.

  • Arya
  • Davos
  • Jamie
  • Tywin
  • Robb
  • Dany..although not so much lately she is starting to bore me.

Hey everyone, I've been having a look on this forum for about 2 months and I thought I'd finally sign up to have a go on it. I'm currently rereading the books as I've realized how thin my knowledge is of them. It's interesting seeing/comparing them to the TV series because there such different media's and complement each other very well. I'm a big fan of Tywin Lannister mainly due to him becoming the de-facto kingmaker in the series, something that often happened in History. At heart I'm a big fan of the North/Riverlands alliance, and I know that makes me pretty Vanilla.

Hey, so sorry for the delayed reply. How are you doing?

Lol about Jon, :lmao: I'm not a fan of either but Kit is adorable :wub:

Are you still on the first book? How are you liking it so far?

I agree that once you put in the time to watch the show, and find characters you like or can relate to, it's pretty addicting.... At least to me :D

I also agree with you about Robb, I didn't like him in the book/show either....

:dunno:

Hello again! :)

I'm a bit slow at the moment, I've only read the first 440 pages so far... but I made a small detour to bookshop a few days ago and bought the second book.

I enjoy the first book a lot already, so I'm sure it was a good investment. GRRM's writing style is great, it's so vivid, you can picture everything so easily and all the characters seem real and fleshed-out. I just love it.

I can't wait to read the third book because I read that Jaime will become a POV character then. I'm a bit scared though that maybe I won't like him anymore once I actually see his point of you and maybe realise that his way of thinking doesn't match the way I had imagined... and that I've only been whitewashing him because I like him. Still, there are many characters that I enjoy and that I'm looking forward to. :)

"A Storm of Swords" is great. I'm rereading it at the moment.

Jaime's POV is also very well written. You'll enjoy it, I'm certain of that.

I heard that many consider Jaime's POV chapters to be the most enjoyable, along with Tyrion's. :)
