Now I've read the first four books and the fifth has just come out in the UK in 2 paperbacks, these books have pretty much fascinated me over the last few months that I've been reading them. I've now just started watching the series and it would be interesting to see how people view the TV series in relation to the books and the fantasy genre in general.
This site has plenty of horror movie threads, but fantasy is not really represented on here, so this is a great place to chat about A Song of Ice and Fire or any other fantasy series out there.
