Hey, everybody. If there's one thing I love more than One Piece, it's George RR Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. Seriously, this series is just too good for words. Can't wait for the 5th book, A Dance with Dragons, to finally be released. Any other GRRM and aSoIaF fans out there?

I'm a fan, but I'm absolutely dreading the next book because I know it will probably depress the hell out of me like the others have.

*laughs* yeah, I know what you mean. The fact that a certain part of the third book (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) actually startled and upset me (a rather jaded person) enough to make me put the book down and just stare at the wall in shock for about five minutes is just another part of what makes these books so damn good.
Plus, I think the new book will feature a lot more awesome and positive things happening than the last one.

I preferred the prequel Shanty of Earth and Air.

I find it amusing that the actual prequel to aSoIaF, The Hedge Knight, was originally published in Legends (a book featuring stories by fantasy's most famous authors), which also featured the author of your signature quote, Terry Pratchett. Very round about, but I still thought it was interesting...-_-;
