code red Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Greetings all!I live in Alberta Canada and I am a huge fan of the Ice and Fire series. I actually have not read one page from the books as I started to lose my vision in 2003. I am not completely blind but I am unable to read text for long period of time due to strain. So, I listen to audiobooks. Thrones was my first purchase and soon I had all of the series and almost every other book published of George\s writing. I happily own an autographed hardcover of Tuf Voyaging.I have listened to the 4 books in the series over 15X, some sections more. George is my all time favorite author, I am also very fond of Lois McMaster Bujold, Jack Vance, Arthur C Clarke and John Heledman to name a few! I have listened to over 500 books in the last 3 years, and actually detested having to read when I was younger.Nice to meet you all and look forward to chatting!

Pureborn Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi All,I live in Namibia and am big fan of George RR Martin. Was introduced to a song of ice and fire about 4 years ago and been recommending it ever since usually to the blank stares from non sci-fi/fantasy readers. They dont know what they are missing. oh well. I am very excited about the series and cant contain my humble opinion on the series. Favorite character: Tyrion and Jaime Lannister! and Jon Snow of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Welcome, all! Pureborn: I am sure that I'll be proved incorrect, but I think you're our first Namibian boarder. It's always great to see more global representation around here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Midnight Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi another newbie here. I haven't read the books and I only saw one episode of the tv show so I am really, really new. I missed the first two episodes. I saw the trailer and I've been a Sean Bean fan for as long as I can remember (since childhood I think) so I thought I'd see what it's all about.Nice to meet you!

Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi, Lady Midnight, and welcome! I'm sure you've picked this up already from seeing other posts here, but be very, very careful if you don't want to be spoiled on what's going to happen. The only places that are guaranteed to be spoiler-free will be the TV forums, and even there it'll only be threads marked [No Spoilers]. Anywhere else is liable to have spoilers, even stuff that isn't explicitly marked, or is a general topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
