Little Robert did indeed express his desire to see Tyrion fly, however, Cat did not speak the quote in question.

Re: Who said that?

While we wait, I would like to ask a side question. Can anyone recommend a book or series similar to aSoIaF. By that, I mean, no use classic hero. Avoids cliche worn out fantasy ideas. Has a lot of depth and character development. And is a really good read.

Assume I've read nothing.

Re: Who said that?

The Blackfish is wrong.As a further hint, the quote was said just before Tyrion's first trial. The person who said it is nowhere near being a major character.

Re: Who said that?

TPA-

Check out Joe Abercrombie. Tonally, he's pretty similar to Martin. Character focused, lots of blood, sex, and swearing. There's a strain of mordant humor that runs through his stuff that I really enjoy. It's not Martin, but it's fun.

Also worth checking out The Lies of Locke Lamorra. It doesn't have nearly the scope of ASoIaF but shares a certain texture with it.

Re: Who said that?

Martin fans read Malazan?

Please help me find another book to read!

I need a new series to read.

RR and Hobb.

Good books.

I wish Egg were here to scold me. Rah! Oh, Rah!

My new guess is Lyn Corbray.

I second The Lies of Locke Lamora and add Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon and Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind.

Hmm. I say the Queen of Thorns, to Cersei, after Tywin's funeral.

my memory is not what it used to be...

Soon after the funeral, there was a conversation about new council members. There were two choices for master of coin. Giles Rosby, who caughed ceaselessly, and Garth Tyrell (Garth the Gross) with flatulence problems.

I think at this occasion someone said that they would rather the coughing since they have had enough of bad smells...but who?

I will take a shot in the dark
