I finally got the wife to start reading the books, and she is TEARING through them. Completely addicted, and that comes after months/years of me telling her she would love the series, but her giving the "meh" response. Vindication! She's almost done with Clash now.
I love ****ing with her when she makes comments/asks about stuff: "OMG how the hell could Theon just kill Bran and Rikkon?" "I know, crazy, huh?" Hours of entertainment.
