Or, we could say, "You've just taken your first step into a larger world." Hm. *scratches head* although I'm uncertain how true that would be...nm

It's pretty much the best thing I've ever read, I think you'll be pleased you took it up.

Re: New to his author

I agree with TK, don't read any thing here til you get through all of the available books.

I could not recommend this series any more strongly, it is fantastic. I have given A Game of Thrones to probably 15 people so far and only one person was non-plussed. And the bulk of those people don't even read fantasy.

Valar Moghulis, hehehe

I couldn't agree more. Definetly the best series I have ever read. I envy people reading ASOIAF for the first time. Being able to finish one book and straight away pick up the next, without having to endure the several year wait for the next book must be a great feeling. (no disrespect to GRRM, as he says we read much faster than he writes)

Speak to you soon when you are waiting for ADWD like the rest of us.

TK-421: Let me see your post, Virgin Noob.

Boaz: You don't need to see his post.

Weasel Soup: We don't need to see his post.

Boaz: This isn't the noob you're looking for.

TK-421: This isn't the noob we're looking for.

Boaz: He can go about his business.

Weasel Soup: You can go about your business.

Boaz: Move along.

TK-421
: Move along... move along.

The Warrior, you can thank me later.

Ha, HA! Oh, you're such a nut, Boaz.

I hope he heeds the advice of our jedi mind trick.
