Game of Thrones

This one's for you Bryce.

Bryce actually got me interested in this HBO series just before the start of the 2012 season. I guess I never thanked him for it, but I've gotten interested and it's a darn shame it's only 10 episodes per season. Last year I caught up watching the first couple seasons I missed through ON DEMAND and this year watched every week. This seasons next-to-last episode was a killer - literally - totally unexpected and somewhat of a shock. The season finale could not possible match it, and sadly it didn't, but I can't wait for next season...

So, as I am an old fart and who knows how long the series will continue - as the saga certainly does - I bought the books. I don't know about everyone else, but I find (usually) a movie or TV show/series based on a book cannot possibly carry the detail contained in a written story. I'm finding that true as I begin reading the multi-book series. I bought a five-book package e-book for my Kindle and it will keep me occupied for a while. There are more than 5 in the series and eventually I'll get to them but for now the 5 are what I have to digest.

If you like the series and you like (hey 'bama in your case it should be CAN ) read, I think you might enjoy. I am, so far.
