A Storm of Swords is my favorite book in the whole series (A Dance with Dragons takes a close second). I was curious if you'd be interested in joining a Song of Ice & Fire fan social group here on ZU. The Social Group will primarily focus on the readers of the books than viewers of the TV show (leave the Forum thread for the viewers, this social club can be for us so we can talk about what's happening in the book where we are, and not feel afraid of spilling the beans for the other non-readers).

and yeah, i do my homework at home (imagine that! haha), which means I can do whatever I want, since I got an off-campus pass which means I can leave during break, 2nd block and lunch and I just need to come back before 3rd block. (gives me about two hours of free time, thankfully the Town Green is close to the high school, one of my friends drove me and my other friend there this Monday). Life is looking pretty good.

the 1971 movie. love Gene Wilder, he makes the movie. hate the new movie with Johnny Depp. 1971 Wonka was a smart-ass, and I feel he lost that in the new one (plus Depp looked way too pale). haha I finished A Clash of Kings a while ago, I'm about a third of the way through A Storm of Swords. Love it so far, but I haven't been reading it much lately.

I just learned from one of your threads that was merged that you're a fan of A Song of Ice & Fire. Have you finished A Clash of Kings? If so, which book are you currently on?

-BGS

Yes, spend that free block wisely. Homework > Surfing the net.

I've actually seen that the trend of using cupcakes is catching on. Not only for birthdays, but also for weddings. People are trying to break out of tradition and make their own birthday/weddings a little more memorable. Eh, I don't mind the least (especially about the Birthday bit). I've got to ask, which Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie did you watch? The 2005 version with Johnny Depp or the 1971 version "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory" with Gene Wilder? Personally I like the '71 version better.

Watch this to compare: Willy Wonka Vs Charlie

haha i can already feel the senioritis creeping in...i have to stay for 4 blocks every day... it just drags on, since one day i have a free period but i can't leave campus until i get a note from my mom. the good news is i finished my homework, so now i'm just bored, surfing the internet.

I had cupcakes this year, instead of cake. I like it better, since my friends had some and we all finished them. We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Batman Begins. It was a fun night.

Happy belated naming day (that's what they call birthdays in ASoI&F)! Save a goron-sized slice of the cake for me, and don't get senior-itis!

-BGS

I haven't been reading it much, due to Senior year of high school and my birthday and all this happening. I promise I'll read ASoS more (about a third of the way through it right now).

Where are you in ASoI&F?

-BGS

Well to be fair, it's a very large sandwich, and I expect to finish it off within a few days. The tomato slices are as big as plates.

-BGS

haha I don't know if I can do that! :O

Not soon enough! I expect you to finish before I finish this sandwich!!

Thanks. Duma Key's about a suicidal man who is ordered by his therapist to take a vacation to a quiet Florida beach called Duma Key, and the man, Edgar, discovers an artistic talent he never knew he had that helps him heal. It's written by Stephen King, so there's some supernatural elements in there. I'm about a third of the way through, so don't worry, I'll be back to A Storm of Swords in about a week or so.

Sad to hear that you're taking a pause from this series and starting something else. But I'm happy that you're enjoying it so far. I just hope you don't forget a few key moments/characters when you decide to return to A Storm of Swords (which is, in my opinion, my favorite/the best book in the whole series).

Davos...I like that he's the point of view character for Stannis (like how Cat is to Robb), but I honestly don't find his character all that interesting (same as Bran, but that's just me. Maybe it'd be more interesting if he had more men at Winterfell to see how difficult it truly is to defend it. Theon took it without a sweat).

Dany has her ships...but certainly not enough to take over Westeros.

Arya, well you could just read A Storm of Swords to see what happens to her;)

Yes, a "moon's turn" does mean a month. That's where the origin of the word "month" comes from. Back in the old days, it was called a "moonth", because they noticed that's the amount of time it takes for the moon to wax and wane. And honeymoons used to take the span of a month[/education]

YES, Jaime gets a few POV chapters. You'll find more and more new POV chapters as you go along.

Short answer: yes...however there are some extra character development that happen to the characters from A Storm of Swords that happen in the second season of Game of Thrones primarily Robb Stark's character. But other than that, feel free to watch the rest of season two without any fear of large spoilers.

What is Duma Key about?

-BGS

Just keep reading. Must keep reading! I can't tell you much right now.

-BGS

Now that you've gone that far, I can tell you that yes, you were right about Mel

Well when it comes to Danny and the Iron Throne, her brother was known as "The Beggar King", and right now (compared to the other armies of Westeros) she certainly isn't ready. She still has to gain more strength.

Aside from Tyrion and Arya, Littlefinger and Varys interest me as well. Littlefinger controls the money, while Varys the secrets. What do you think their plans are?

Yes I know! To finally explore the north (the TRUE north). Do you have any hopes of finding Benjen Stark?

Why doesn't anybody (that I've talked to about the books) like the Reed boy? I like him. He's wise beyond his years. This isn't spoiling anything but, one of my favorite quotes from him is "A man that doesn't read lives one life, while a man that does read live a thousand lives".
