Oooooooo.... *Shivers

Just finished reading A Storm of Swords and it was amazing. Don't fuck it up, HBO!

Morocco, eh?

Is that for Daenerys in Qarth or the Martels in Dorne? Please let it be Martels!

I've heard A Storm of Swords will be split into seasons 3 & 4. Knowing the Red Wedding is coming is a little sad... some of my favorite characters are going to die there, but at least Arya's transformation is coming as well. That ought to be awesome.

Oh split into two seasons would be sweet. It would allow them to explore the stories more in depth than past seasons (that while done well, IMHO they flew through the stories).

A Storm of Swords is by far the best book in my opinion. The more we get of it, the better.

You don't think that's kind of a spoiler?

I felt it was vague enough that it wasn't spoiling anything. If knowing that some characters are going to die this season is a spoiler, then you've never seen a single episode of the show.

Lol, fair point.

I'm reading the first book right now.
It's hard to keep my interest up since I've already watched seasons one and two. They've spoiled the books for me.
I may just skip ahead and start reading book three and then stay ahead of the TV series. -- So no Spoilers

The books contain 'so much more' than the series, even if the series is quite faithful. So they are very much worth the read. Though yea you do get kind of spoiled as a first time reader, knowing basically all the big plot points.
