lol, yeah. Jaime is really a simple fellow. Unlike his siblings and his father. He isn't dumb, he's just easier satisified.

Well he has PoV chapter from CoK on, so to change that won't be difficult for you Phil. :D

Tyrion fighting with his sister is always a highlight. As much as Jaime loves his brother, Cersei hates him. :D And Tyrion has this talent to expose the stupidity of other people, which doesn't go well with the image Cersei has of herself. To have the face and voice of Peter Dinklage in mind really improves the reading experience. :D I remember calling the Theon chapters boring during my re-read last month, but I didn't really hate them. Though Theon is an annoying character most of the time and easy to hate.

btw. This guy will be the onion Knight: http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/i/2011/07/08/Liam-Cunningham_240.jpg (Liam Cunningham his name) @Phil So your reading Clash of Kings now?

And we have two more actors. Stannis Baratheon will be played by Stephen Dillane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Dillane and Melisandre of Asshai, the Red Witch as I call her, will be played by Carice van Houten http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carice_van_Houten So we will have a dutch one on board for Jules. :D Btw. nice bus you have in NYC: http://pics.livejournal.com/grrm/pic/000h090s/s640x480

Somewhat true but [spoiler=Content of Vol.4]with her marrying Tommen later on, that marriage gets reaaally creepy now. Don't you think? And yeah didn't expect that either. [spoiler=Content of Vol.5]I at first was thinking the boy would be Rickon, which wasn't even possible, cause Young Griff is 18, while Rickon is what now? 6? 7? But how old the kid was, was somewhat lost in translation for me. :D I really have to improve my english. So have you reached the first "Reek" chapter and the return of one of our "favorites" as well? :D

Talking about unfit actressess. Natalie Dormer from "The Tudors" has been casted to be Margaery Tyrell. I don't know, but weren't we past the point were 20-somethings play Teenagers? Mrs. Dormer is 29 and will be in her mid-30s by the end of the series (if all books get filming that is) and Margaery is only 16...

To get back to the TV show for a moment, I found out that George RR Martin wrote in his blog a while ago that Gwendoline Christie has been cast to play Brienne of Tarth. Well, being 6'3 probably makes her fit that part, though her looks are quite unfitting, but for that there is also a way, this is TV. :D http://pics.livejournal.com/grrm/pic/000gx6d3

Finished the book today and totally did not like the climax at the end. :( Still a great book though and much to look forward for, when "The Winds of Winter" arise.....hopefully earlier than 5 1/2 years from now.

Well, I'd say around page 592 the timeline of "Dance with Dragons" is past the point where "A feast for crows" ended,[spoiler=small spoiler] as Arya and Jaime return with their chapters. Nice to see that we don't have to miss them for some more years, like it was with Jon and the others in the last Volume. don't read the Spoiler if you haven't read at least Vol. 4. ;) For those who have it is just an observation and not spoilering content from Vol. 5.

Guys you have to get the book and read quicker, damn it! I want to talk about this, especially about what happened around pages 230-240. [spoiler=Read only, if you have reached page 240 of Vol.5]The son of Rhaegar Targaryen is alive! Dany has a nephew! I find this really stunning, cause there was no hint to it at all in the previous books and all assumed the boy was killed by Gregor Clegane like his mother and sister, when he was a baby. So to speak of succession, this would make him the rightful heir I'd say, even before Dany.

Maybe I should have made it clearer that I was talking about "DwD", but I though with me raving about getting the book for two days, all of you would know by now. :D

Well I am about 100 pages into the book and one of the biggest riddles might already have been solved. So only people who read to the first chapter with Ser Davos should read further.;)[spoiler=spoiler]The Lord of the sisters tells Ser Davos that it was in deed Ned Stark who fathered a bastard son with the daughter of a fisherman who saved his life. He might be misinformed, so a rest of doubt remains, but still a huge bit of information dropped in a otherwise unimportant sentence. On a different note, loved the beheading of Janos Slynt by Jon, some revenge for Ned finally.

959 pages this time, english version hardcover.

It's here, It's here. I've got my copy of "A dance with Dragons" today. lol at the dedication to men and women from "Asshai, Spain" who sang him of "the bear and maiden fair", has there ever been a complete version of that "nice" little song? :D Happy fan here right now. :)

well of course?

I am soooo not sorry Peetie :D, well kinda I am. A splitted discussion would probably make sense, but is it needed? The TV show won't return before spring and might get a new thread then, which would be fitting as the 2nd season probably is named after the second book. Spoilermarks is the best way, but one should add a warning how far someone should have read, before reading the spoiler, so you guys who are currently reading the earlier books won't accidentaly read a spoiler from Vol. 4 or 5. On a side note, got message from Amazon today that they shipped the book. So I will have Vol.5 by wednesday as latest. :)

So Rome, how far are you with your reading? Mind already blown? :D

He might want to tone it down on the drinking for a while :D

lol, it's always the same. Why does it take a phone call by my aunt to inform me about the date of my granpas funeral, when I am living with my parents?:confused: She isn't even living in the same city and actually called from spain where she is on holiday. :rofl: Nice example of "I thought you had already told him", "i thought you had." :D

I would be dissapointed with him, if it were different. :D
