All this talk of people reading the books...it's been too long, so I started rereading Game of Thrones last night. I think it's my 3rd time through it (I don't remember if I just reread Clash of Kings before Feast for Crows came out or if I went all the way back through).

That is cool. I found this blog that is rereading it now too and it gives you the perspective of a first time reader and someone else like yourself who has re read it a couple times and they offer comments of how the percieve each chapter. http://gestaltmash.com/category/playin-with-ice-and-fire/

I hadn't realized that a song on The Sword's "Gods of the Earth" CD is pretty obviously inspired by ASoIaF. I happened to see the title this morning, and whaddyaknow?
Surprisingly decent audio for something recorded from the audience.
The Sword - "To Take the Black"
Lyrics:
Quote:
Cast out from the lands of their births Banished from hearth and home All brothers must swear the oath Forsaking all they've known
If you choose to take the black Bid farewell to comforts great and small Those who do, don't come back Prepare yourself for life on the Wall
Night gathers and the watch begins The wind carries an unnatural chill There are things beyond the northern borders Mere steel can't kill
Men who choose to take the black Rogues and rangers, one and all Those who do, won't come back Prepare yourself for life on the Wall

Oh shit! I really dig the sword and never realized that song was about that. I just started reading A Game of Thrones but with those lyrics it definatly is.

Glad you're diggin' it. The second book has some amazing stuff in it. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Though, I liked the 1st book and the 3rd (so far) better. But they're all great.

The first time I read the 2nd I hated the Iron Islands stuff, but on subsequent re-reads its the best part of that book.
