actually i'm halfway through feast for crows. i've forgotten a few characters though, i slowed down in an effort to make the series last until dance with dragons came out. then i picked up a few other series, and...yeah.

I'm also up to feast, although I've been reading less often because I pretty much breezed through the first three. I'm hoping they have the budget for real battle scenes for the future seasons instead of the lame sequence in first season where they cut it out entirely.

Ive only finished a Clash of Kings so far, mainly cause I need to study for promotion

. But the 2nd book had tons of "Holy ****" moments, fo sho.

Just get the first, and give it a shot. I can almost guarantee you'll want to press on.

every time i watch an episode i just want to punch sansa in the face.

in the book, it's even worse. stupid bitch.

There does seem to be excessive nudity/sex in the show. kinda bothers me and doesn't always feel like its fits, a little forced.....

Edit: dear god, just read what i wrote

Wife always walks in on those parts and is all "what the heck are you watching". She thinks at this point its just a bunch of ppl screwing lol

^^ I think you're just reading it wrong. Just imagine all the female characters as naked models.

Hahahaha, wait til you read the first 60 pages or so of book one. When I read that, I immediately said, "yup - I know why HBO picked THIS up...".

Its actually less than whats in the book I'd say, and the book is even more descriptive...

Glad Im not the only one.

Hahaha, yeah the first time I picked up the books I thought "wow...this is...VERY descriptive...."

and I fully expected HBO to run rampant with it, but credit to them that they instead decided to weave in as much of the political intrigue and character development instead of more...basic instincts.

I remember in the book the scene where Bran finds Cersei and Jamie together, and he was describing the squishing.

I got the WEIRDEST boner there...

I really don't like sex at all in my books. i don't know, very rarely do i feel that sex in books is done right. not as far as description but as far as class and propriety are concerned. just most times, i would just prefer the implication of it. 9 times out of 10 i feel the implication usually correlates with better writing over a pornographic scene in my novel.

why would i want to read porno anyways, thats why i have a portable hardrive!
