I'm just about to start Game of Thrones, 1st in the Song of Fire and Ice series by George Martin. I haven't read any of his stuff yet so wish me luck!!

I wish you joy, actually. George is an old friend, and you have a treat in store.

Well, you were right Dennis!! A third of the way in and can't put it down. Out of interest, did Mr Martin ever discuss with you the inspiration for the story? I only ask because it has startling similarities to the Edward IVth/Richard III and Elizabeth Woodville situation from English history?

(Apologies if this has been discussed at length elsewhere but I've just arrived at the books!)
