A Game of Thrones (contains spoilers)

[PosImpos]

Got the new book today! 

Great prologue, then Chapter 1 starts right up with Tyrion.  I was hoping to finish up the book I was working on, but I'm thinking I'll read this first.

well thanks for the spoiler alert

I didn't tell you he died, did I?

CAUSE HE DOES 

Now there's a spoiler 

it's a spoiler for me cause im in a part of one of the earlier books where it isn't clear whether tyrion will live or die (although i figured he'd survive somehow).

So the dragons are they key to stopping the white walkers correct?  And Khaleesi is the only dragon we know of?

Oh god I'm so excited

Just finished book 5.  Very sad by the ending of a few characters stories.  I didn't start reading the series until after the tv show went off the air.  I have found it to be an easy read and I definitely got hooked on the characters.  My wife started nursing school right after she finished book 3, so I can't even talk to her about the last two books, which is totally killing me.  The wait until book 6 is going to be so long.  At least I will get to relive book 2 this April when the show is back on the air.

A chapter from book 6 was released on Martin's web-site.

Thanks.  Don't want to read it yet though!

Any word on when the new book will be out?   Seems like he's on a roll now.

Or when the 2nd season starts?

season 2 starts april. The book release date is totally up to martin,though he will probably release it quicker than usual so that it can be released before the show catches up to the books. My guess would be 2 years.

I haven't yet watched the premiere (had to watch the Shameless season finale and they aired at the same time), but it started tonight.  I will check it out tomorrow.

Really funny, has some plot inaccuracies, and lots of bad language, but really funny. Especially the part called 'one of you won't stop talking about being a eunuch'

Even though I have now read the books (I hadn't before I watched season 1), I still really like this show.  It is just done so well.

I agree.  Without spoiling, after reading the books I was VERY curious as to how they were going to portray on film the...event that closed last night's show.  I thought the show did the book scene justice.

My wife, on the other hand, having not read the books, had a different reaction.  Along the lines of "WHAT THE *##!!! WAS THAT?"
