I Think I Made a Tactical Error...

So after finishing the lovely Delia Sherman's absolutely beautiful (yet simultaneously creepy) The Porcelain Dove on Friday morning, I turned toward that book that has been sitting and taunting me since October. Perhaps you've heard of it? It's called A Game of Thrones.

I had planned on cleaning. Or, you know, finishing my book. Yeah, not so

Well, he's really the only one with enough chutzpah aside from his brother and Jon Snow. And I didn't find art for either of them. :(

Even I, with my MASSIVE Jaime love, must admit that he is not very likeable at all throughout all of A Game of Thrones! Possibly his only saving grace is that he really does love his brother Tyrion.

You know? I think I fell in love with him when he caught Ned riding back after the brothel. He pretty much had me at "I'll butcher you like Aerys if I must, but I'd sooner you died with a blade in your hand."It's a telling line, over and above the notions we have of him. Yes, he threw Bran (to, as Cersei points out, protect his own children) but he'd face the father in battle regardless. Also tells you that there's something not quite kosher with the characterization we have of him

If you do come we absolutely must meet up!

His speech is from 5 to 6 on Saturday. Here's the link. I'm just sad that I'm going to wind up missing Friday's events, so the first panel and the reading of ADWD.
