Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

I'm only through the 3rd book but yeah, skipping over what you have seen on TV would have been a big mistake. He is a good writer. Lots of detail, I do like the TV version better than the book version of those major events.

I really believe he is so detailed so that he can sneak things past you. I am going through the 4th book again to see what I have missed. But he goes on and on with the description of clothing and feasts then sneaks the important nugget of info right past you. He is a crafty bastard.

I've read them all twice now. Amazing what I picked up on the second time that I missed in the first. But Damn I can do without the page long descriptions of what they ate or what they were wearing.

Should I stay out of the spoiler thread until I read all the books?

Like I said before fantasy is not really my bag, but his writing is amazing. Got my wife reading the first book. She loves Denerys.

We could maybe start a thread, just for each book, if you have questions and don't want to know more than the point you are at....

I saw the Red Viper announcement and I thought who??? Read the part of the series with the Red Viper starts and wow he does stand out. I hope the TV does him justice. It will be cool to see him come to life.

Season 4 will top Season 3. They will need to increase the CGI budget.There is plenty of material and shockers to send the audience into a "red wedding" type of tizzy.
