I usually don't read high fantasy work. I was recommended the series after many months of complaining how I rarely get to read anything exciting/moving,for every 1 good book I read,I end up with 4 bad.(I can read up to 3 books per week,depending on the quality)
My friend said I would really like this,since it has everything I need + it is immensely addictive and thrilling.
I was impressed
The setting is fantastical (actually,it is medieval,with measured amounts of supernatural) and many say *gritty* but the story is very real,the motivations and character building and the writing philosophy of the writer.(George is a Virgo,btw with Libra Mercury,but really,his work can be summed up by his Scorpio Mars squaring Leo Venus/Pluto conj)

You read,so absorbed,and you actually enjoy the every bit,because it is SO challenging. A reading rollercoaster
And Arya,goddammit!!! ♥♥♥

I love GoT! I've read only the first novel so far, but I'm planning on reading at least the next two over holiday break, so please no spoilers, lol

Initially, I thought the length would be daunting, since it is definitely along the lines of an epic, but I like how GRRM splits the story into individual narratives. It makes it much more manageable.

I can't wait to have some free time, so I can breeze through them. The whole series definitely has a Scorpio feel to it!

You need to read novella before you head onto 2nd book The Hedge Knight - same world,only 80 yrs prior to AGoT - You'll love it!

So,any idea as to who is Jon's mother?

Thanks for the recommendation! I did a quick Google search and it looks like I'll be reading that before moving on, lol.

As to Jon Snow's mother... I honestly have no idea, but I don't think he is Eddard's real son. Maybe Lyanna? I imagine a pregnancy from her would've been very secretive and Ned would've helped in keeping it that way. A part of me just roots for Jon Snow

The show, honestly, is stronger than the books in some respects.

Martin's verbosity is toned down.

As a warning (or not): The show is very HBO rated.

They seem to use conversations during coitous to take care of necessary exposition.

Maybe.

A major character runs a brothel and there's a gay prince with a threesome loving wife.

Hijinks ensue.

Although I don't like Jaime for several reasons, I liked the episode where he save Brienne from being raped. I bet he didn't expect to lose his hand..but it shows he has a heart.
