Sounds great. I thought HBO did a fantastic job with Rome, so if anybody is going to d it, it should HBO. I checked out the sight for GOT--it does look amazing.

what I want is someone to leak the pilot that was made which allowed for the network to give it the "Go"... doubt it'll happen as I'm sure there's a 100% cast turnover, but still... would like to see it. 

Yeah, winter needs to hurry the hell up... I have been waiting a long time for this series and for the next book.  Though i think George R.R Martin said something about a major storyline issue slowing him down on the next book more than anything to do with the TV series.

yeah, story =  eating and drinking and just enjoying himself waaay too much. I'm always hearing about how he's out there at different fantasy and book cons, what the hell for? You still promoting your last book that you finished.. um.. like 5 years ago.. Get your fat arse back to writing!

Good luck trying to finish a book on that!

Yeah, I was devastated when I found that out. I discovered him later in his career so I had like 8 books I could blaze through. It was great. Did you happen to read the Thomas Covenant Chronicles? I just picked up "The Gathering Storm." I am gonna start at the beginning and work my way back through. Now I have to divide the time with Elemental
