I just passed the 700 page mark of a storm of swords...

holy f#ck!

I now understand why mamasan has been throwing the book at the wall repeatedly. :lol:

(slow going I know - I actually didn't have the time to pick up the book for a week and a 1/2... run ragged with work/spring time chores)
Texas... Believe it or not, there are fans here who'd love to see you play.

forgot all about the greyjoy part, but he does enough later to hate him. so ill let one bad act of his be forgotten....


I have not forgiven Theon Greyjoy for pulling puppy Summer out of Bran's arms, holding him by the scruff of the neck and preparing to nonchalantly kill the wriggling pup. Then when Rob said "No," he looked at Rob icily and said "I take orders from your father, not you."

Asswipe.

Wait - so it gets crazier?

I have the paperback and made it through yesterday to 750 of 1120 pages... sounds like it's time for a sick day :twisted:

No no I'm pretty sure you've read the "crazy" part. The end of the book is more of a reveal which is wild but not "crazy"
The part that you throw the book agains the wall is the biggest holy shit of the series so far for me

I as well have HATED Theon from that very scene! You're really going to love the stories as they go on and the wolves get more involved with everyone.

:D You know me too well, Lady Mamasan23.

I am so happy to have all of this in front of me!!! (I'm only as far as the final episode of last season right now _ and on the audio book, up to the point where Danyerius is now pregnant.)

I'm savoring every single hour I get to listen.

And I am LOVING my House Stark Direwolf sigel t-shirt. I am planning to wear it to work on Friday. 8-)

;) Fellow dog lovers must stick together!

Where did you find that shirt? I'd love to get one!

I was watching extras on the blu-ray the other day and some of the cast were saying that when Maisie - the girl that plays Arya - was doing just the read through of the scene where she throws the rock at Nymeria she was crying. That was insanely tough to watch, I just wanted to hug the pup!
