A Dance with Dragons
So George R.R. Martin's latest book finally came out. I pre-ordered it and got it on day one... and then got stuck doing overtime at work all week.
Anyone started reading it yet? It is any good?

Re: A Dance with Dragons
All I know is I LOVE Game of Thrones on HBO. My god, I was so surprised at how good it was. True Blood then this, HBO is really stepping it up these last few years. I was considering reading the books - but now I don't want to ruin the series : -/

Re: A Dance with Dragons
I preordered from Amazon, maybe it will get here today(it has shipped) though I did use the free shipping option which takes longer. Can't wait! I dont have HBO but will be renting the dvds when they come out. And SW, READ THE BOOKS! YOU MUST!!!!

Re: A Dance with Dragons
The books are a lot better and complex than the series. But the series is nice too and it has naked women.

Re: A Dance with Dragons
Naked women and a ton of gore. My god some of the shit they show on there. It's more gorey than True Blood.
And I know, I know the books are always better. I am kicking myself now. I always saw "A song of Ice and Fire" in stores but passed it by. I wish now I had read them before because I really do not want to spoil the surprises and know what is coming. I may go back and read them after I see it on tv. Since you guys have read the books am I to understand the entire first season spans the length of the first book and only that? You know, ending with the princess and the dragons? Since the entire series - even those that go beyond the first book - is gonna continue to be called "Game of Thrones", I am unsure where the first book ends on the HBO series.

Re: A Dance with Dragons
Yeah the first season of the series is the first book. But it is heavily compressed so you only see maybe 20% of the book.
