Yes, and I think Viserys was very good last year too.

I also think Sean Bean should have been given a different role, perhaps. I miss his strong screen presence already.

Yea, newest survey I could find on a quick look and after more than a few shots it's a wonder i can post at all. tongue

The overall numbers don't seem to have changed much, just the way we read them.


http://www.harrisinteractive.com/NewsRoom/HarrisPolls/tabid/447/ctl/ReadCustom%20Default/mid/1508/ArticleId/864/Default.aspx
Change in reading habits

One of the criticisms of e-Readers is that people who have them may download more books than they would traditionally purchase, but read at the same levels. So far this criticism is not holding true at all. Half of both e-Reader users (50% and non-users (51%) say they read the same amount as they did six months ago. However, while one-quarter of non e-Reader users (24%) say they are reading less than they did before (compared to just 8% of e-Reader users), over one-third of e-Reader users (36%) say they are reading more compared to just 16% of non-users.

I used to read quite a lot, but it was never anything non-fiction. I guess I don't value reading unless you're reading nonfiction, about astrophysics, mathematics and whatnot. The stuff I read was like...Lord of the Rings, Carrie, stuff like that. I don't think there's much difference between reading fiction and playing a video game or watching television.


and I don't like when people brag about reading when theyre reading Harry Potter and Twilight.

As much as I would agree with Sean Bean and a different role, it was perfect for him.

a survey that I just flat out don't believe. The literacy rates can't even be agreed upon by different groups, let alone people actually reading books. I think probably half of those people are flat out liars.

Actually a really good point. Fiction is entertainment, but some people feel the need to brag about it like they're on the same level of people who read to learn.

They really cast the show well, I have to say that much and they are holding true to the books. BT hasn't read them so I often have to remind myself not to comment on something that happens in the future.

Have to agree there. I had Stannis as more burly in my mind with a deeper voice. He seemed kind of wimpy looking/sounding in the show. Maybe that will change as his character becomes more developed.

And for Dontos, hadn't realized at first that was who it was as I didn't hear when he was announced. Afterward when Sansa managed to have him spared I realized who it was. He fits my mental image to a T!

Hope that isn't much of a spoiler...not like he is a major player and it wasn't like he died or anything tongue

Same. But he is kind of a dis-likable character anyways, so I am not too concerned with how I feel about his casting lol.

Ohhhh. No no no, those chapters never happened, you are just a lazy reader and the thousand page books were getting to you. The food descriptions were scant in comparison to a lot of fantasy I have read. Try "In the Hall of the Dragon King," where you actually will have pages dedicated to food. Martin had the right level of description

whaaaaatt?

Martin spends at least 2 paragraphs A CHAPTER describing food. Sometimes way more. It could be a battle scene but they'll still pull out food, greasy chicken dripping down their faces, cold sausage, a mug of ale and then somehow continue to the battle.


Unless you're reading a cookbook, not sure what you're reading that tops Martin for food description.
