Yep. I scanned through it to see if I would want to read the different articles and when the answer kept coming up “yes,” the rest was history. No pun intended!

I hope the links answered your questions.

I’ll check out “Song of Ice and Fire,” just in case it might be pretty good.

I don’t watch TV much. Mostly British murder mysteries on DVDs. I don’t like commercials and I don’t like propaganda, so DVDs are the things. ;o]

“Song of Fire and Ice” is the book series that inspired “Game of Thrones” on TV. Tom the Son says it’s pretty good, but he likes another massive medieval-y fantasy series better. I forget what it’s called, but some parts I’ve heard while driving with him have been entertaining.

"Song of Ice and Fire" is an epic fantasy series but just be warned it will take you over 4,000 pages to get through the first five published volumes (with two more on the way expected to add another 2,000 pages).

Also, while this work is often compared to "Lord Of The Rings" by Tolkien, it is far more bloodier and more sexually graphic. If that is not a problem for you, it's worth the journey. Lastly, I recommend NOT seeing the TV series until you have read the books.
