Game of Thrones

It is not often that I find myself interested and intently focused.  George R.R. Martin's book series A Song of Ice and Fire has captured my heart in whole.  I just finished the first book in the series, Game of Thrones, I find myself interested in the author and his detail to human character.  You know that old question if you could have any five people, dead or alive, over for dinner who would they be?  My list would now include George R.R. Martin and I would want to know how he develops his storyline, characters, food descriptions, complex yarn like twists and turns and how he knows human nature so well.

One book in and I will attempt to guess what is in store.  I believe Jon Snow is half Targaryen and the complete series will end with Jon and Danenerys Targaryen ruling together.  Hence....A Song of Ice and Fire.....Jon is Ice and Danenerys is Fire.  Though Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark are some of my  favorite characters I find the building strength in Jon and Danenerys would be wasted if they were killed.  Several more books to read and I am excited and look forward to a world different then mine. 

Thank you George R.R. Martin for your wit and sharing it with the world.
