Game of Thrones begins....

I thought Game of Thrones was well written.  Much better writing then typical sci-fi or fantasy.  The prose flows smoothly and naturally.  The later books suffer from poor editing, but the writing itself is okay.  Compare to someone like Philip K. Dick who's prose flits disjointedly from idea to idea.  You'd think it was written by a madman.  And if you thought that, that you'd be right.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'll say this for Rushdie. His wife is seriously hot. No wonder he looks so pleased with himself.



She is not white.

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.

I was refuting Gups claim that she was seriously hot.

Could the dude be any more Caucasian? If he was in a police lineup and labeled Mr. Smith you'd never know the difference.
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.

She is still seriously hot.
