Anyone else looking forward to the release of George RR Martin's A Feast For Crows?

I can't WAIT! I want to find out what happens to Tyrion, too, I always liked the little sarcastic feller. I also want to find out about Jon. *Drools*

Sorry for the OT, but is it possible that she wrote a poem on Helen of Troy once?
I wrote an essay once on the depiction of Helen in English poetry, and I think I included a poem by Sara Douglass. I'd never heard of the author, just found the poem online and used it because it fit my argument, but I never found out what kind of author it was.

I was afraid book three made the final one in the series, despite all the loose ends. It's good to learn I was wrong [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

(Book Three spoilers)-------------<font color="#3D2F1B">Book Three at least tied up some loose ends, but did so in a manner that left you wondering why-Lysa Arryn poisoned her husband, for example; why? I want to know what happens with Catelyn, too, the "return from the dead" with Beric's outlaws was just too...confusing.</font>

somewhat cryptic to try to avoid a spoiler here...

I like Tyrion a lot too... but Jamie is shaping up to be the most interesting character in that family IMO, what Martin pulled off in "A Storm of Swords" regarding Jamie was nothing short of stunning. I thought I had Martins bag of tricks pretty much mapped out until I read that book.

Minor spoiler:

Re: Jon, I have my theories on what his parentage may be...and I'm betting it has a lot to do with that tourney in Harrenhal during the year of the false spring...

Well, there are going to be two new POV characters in this book, both existing characters. One of them is below"

Would the other be "The maiden of Tarth"?
