I can't decide on a favorite character. There's so many great ones.
Yep, I like Snow before he got so emo. Jaime in the latest book. Arya.

The Late Lord Frey is a canny old duck. Right in the midst of the fighting all this time and has yet to pay the butcher.

I liked Arya better before she started executing people for desertion.

Have you read Sandersons new book yet? I think its called Warbreaker. I'm dying to read it but I just bought the entire Buffy series so my free time will be very very occupied.
I thought it was awesome. The magic system is even more original and brilliant than the ones in Mistborn, and they were groundbreaking. I can't wait for him to start publishing The Way of Kings, it's gonna be so epic. It's supposed to be a 10 book series, with 10 different magic systems. He had to put it off to finish off the Wheel of Time.

I love and hate that it's going to be a 10 book series. I love that there will be so much to read but I hate that I will have to wait to read it. I've only ever bought completed fantasy series so how long is the wait usually between books? Martin excluded obviously.
I want my mother fucking points!

Raistlin gives me a boner.

Me too! I've been meaning to finish the time of the twins for like 5 years now.
Dude! Finish it.  The Test of the Twins trilogy is the only Dragonlance trilogy or standalone really worth reading.

It's on my amazon wish list. :whistle:

I like Sandor and Jaime. When Jaime first appears he is so in your face.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

That's when she got really awesome.

Solmyr

Tyrion is my absolute favorite, he should totally inherit Westeros.

Twinkie the kid is GRRM's favorite character, followed by Fruit Pie the Magician.

If Peter Jackson directed the TV series he would only be used for (not very) comic relief.

He writes very fast, once he's finished the WoT I would think he could put a book out once every 12-18 months.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Gimli really wasn't that important.

Ugh, it will still be worth it.

i enjoyed many of the more minor characters in their illustrations. syrio and his fight;"hello. my name is oberyn mantell, you killed my sister. prepare to die"; tragic viserys; quiet podrick; illiterate and queer knight of flowers; my favorite POV characters are bran, davos, and theon, though

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
