InherentlyObvious Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi there! I'm new here. Was looking for a forum focused on a particular series with conversation spanning other general subjects, and after some lurking I like the look of this one! I'm a big fan of the books but haven't engaged too closely with the series (mainly for fear of spoilers!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I've been a part of a forum, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it. I'm a fan of the books and the show, and many other things besides, which will hopefully become apparent in the conversations ahead. So yeah, excited to start talking to everyone.

Eric Cartman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hello to all! Glad to be here. Voracious reader of fantasy and fiction books. Just finished Nemesis Games and currently underway through the 2nd book of Tales from Ketty Jay series. I'll incur the wrath of the dragons by admitting that I'm not a big fan of asoiaf. I've read all the books years before the TV series started and though good, not exactly my type. If and when the next book comes, I've not decided on whether I'd read it or not. Probably will. The Literature forum comes highly recommended by @TheRevanchist (EAP here) and I hope to have great discussions there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is rather strange to see you write you like other books much better but still join us here. It is so much in contrast to posters like I who go into literary exegesis of Martin's texts pretty religiously. Nevertheless you've made it. Want to criticise GRRM's writing? I'd really like to read that, maybe I need my mind to be set right. I haven't read what you name, so maybe I should take a peek into that, too.Hello, all before me.Welcome, all who are after me.Welcome @VadersKeeper to the forum!

I used to discuss Fantasy Books with Revanchist on another forum and he recommended the Literature forum as a great place to have general fantasy book related discussions. I was also impressed that you have a multi page thread on Nemesis Games and so decided to give this a try. I really don't have any criticism on GRRM's books. I recall reading the first 4 books back in mid 2000's before all the TV hype and liked it. At that time I was really into books on traditional magic and fantasy elements and felt that GRRM is more of a political docudrama than a classic fantasy. I just wanted more magic, more dragons and more of fantasy, so drifted off to other series, I suppose. I may come back to this if we ever get the next book.
