I've finished the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and I must say, I was in for rather a shock, because it was very different from the Johnny Depp movie I watched a few years back. It definitely had a more negative ending, and the personalities of the characters were just as different. And I must say, from the description of Ichabod Crane, he certainly seemed a lot less attractive.
Am now reading George R R Martin's Game of Thrones, and I wish I had picked it up earlier. It is really very, very good, and I love the people and places described. American Tolkien indeed (and easier to understand too)! Though for some reason, I've been having an affinity to the more unpopular characters, especially Sansa and Catelyn Stark, as opposed to the characters like Jon, Arya, or even Ned.
And Ned blowing the horn of Gondor still remains as one of my favourite mental images. The subsequent arrows... Not so much.
