And going back to the original topic.....

Yes! This is one of my favorite series ever....everyone should read it! Favorite characters, eh? Hard since I like so many....

Arya or Dany....Jon is great, and Asha (but you wouldn't know her yet), Arianne as well. Davos is pretty cool. I can't help but be fond of Brienne and Tyrion....And Jaime has really moved up there in my esteem in the last book. (feast of crows) Meera's pretty cool too. and Jojen. Frankly I like everyone. Melisandre rocks my world, and I like Stannis in spite of himself.

If you love the books....check out the ccg. It's really great.
