thanks, I really hope I do feel better soon :/

no H50 :(

I was convinced this week was a new one. Boo.

yes, Games of Thrones is a fact the first book of a fantasy series by George RR Martin called "A Song of Ice and Fire" that is a WIP at the moment. There are 4 books out, each HUGE and getting huger. It's a very very harsh and epic fantasy series, with a cast of thousand (no lying), where you have everything from direwolves, zombies to dragons. It's extremely violent, unforgiving, full of betrayal, power struggles, treason, sex and what have you. It also has AWESOME characters, but you can't let yourself fall in love with anyone because you get your heart ripped out. Again. And again. And again.

HBO is doing it and even them have to change some things to make it more... TV friendly. Some people loathe the books, other love them. I love. I just don't know how they'll manage to put the first book in one season (there's material for years and years). For that reason I am not sure if reading in anticipation is a good idea or not... I'm pretty sure lots is going to be omitted/change

Very rarely do screen versions follow books, and it sounds like this has no chance really :) Still, it sounds a lot of fun!!
