Game of Thrones - a new HBO original series
« on: 2011-03-01, 16:07:29 »
Based on the series of novels, A Song of Ice and Fire, HBO has acquired the rights and decided to dedicate a full season to each book, so we're looking at 5 seasons thus far if I read that correctly.  I've not read these books but I intend to soon.

I've read the first three Sir William and they're actually pretty good, I thought.

Oh good...I was wondering; that series will be what I devour next via Kindle.  Love that little thing.

The Song of Fire and Ice is my favorite fantasy books after the Lord of the Rings. I am looking forward to the TV show.
