Yeah, I'm a no go until I know another book is coming.
I did finally pick up Dunk and Egg. So far it's a decent story.

Listening to an episode of the podcast from History of Westeros and they have some good info. I think they said from GRRM's original outline, Cat was supposed to flee north of the wall and become a Wight? Jaime was supposed to murder his way to the throne and blame Tyrion?

I'd have to suss out what the wife know it's in the book, but probably yes. The show is an easy no.
Good story.

My wife has never seen an episode. She would hate it. But we had friends in town the night of the series finale, and they watch. So she watched with us. About midway through my 13 year old came downstairs, grabbed a snack and sat at the table watching.
Wife: "Is this appropriate for her?"
Me: "Parts of this aren't appropriate for me, but even the language is pretty tame in this one. She's probably fine."

That's some crazy stuff. I'm kind of interested in seeing how the Cat angle would play out. It'd be an interesting approach to making some kind of sense out of the whole Others thing if she did that and was a chapter focus character.

Ok, finished last week
2 takeaways
I must not have read the whole book bc its clear as day that Ned is not Jons father
The book made me much more sympathetic to Sansas role in getting Ned killed. When i watched the show, I hated her. Reading the book, i felt sad for her.
On to clash of kings which will take til Christmas with my schedule

Get them the Sanderson Cosmere books - Mistborn, Elantris, Way of Kings, Warbreaker. Also, read them if you haven't - every bit as good as Martin.

Way of Kings is literature quality (older kid is listening to those). Warbreaker was ok, not extraordinary. Need to read Elantris. Maybe next after I get through Drew Hayes' Super Powereds stuff, which is absolutely extraordinary.

I tried finding the original book thread but search function are two words FBG's don't employ so I'm posting this here. Talk amongst yourselves...

Incredible how bad the final couple seasons were. The show had so much momentum and it just came to a screeching halt.
