A song of Ice and fire discussion (spoilers incl A Dance with Dragons)

Oh gods I can't believe you've finished all 5 books already.

Tonsilitis has its benefits at times!

I also can't wait to get to work so I can properly sit down and reply to a ton of stuff you've brought up in this thread as well as direct you to some new amazing theories to look over (specifically concerning Jon Snow's parentage and other Azor Ahai prophecies/theories). !!!!!!!!!!

Sounds fascinating...quick, get to work already...though I may very well be sleeping by the time you get there. It's a tick away from midnight here EDIT: It just ticked over to the 28th! END EDIT and I have to be up at 5:30am, ready to watch the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics with my daughter, bacon and eggs at the ready...or so I've been instructed!

(or, for that matter, read them at all haha),

I'd *not* have read them at all, if not for you giving me kicks up the pants...

I would have suggested you read the 3 short-stories before starting book 5. Even though the short stories are set 100 years in the past.. there are events that foreshadow and hint at things you read in the main story.

I'll get into them then...better late than never?

Quick pronunciation question but I'm sure there'll be plenty more...

How do you all pronounce 'Arya'? Ar-ya, as in "Are ya coming or not?" or Ar-ree-ah, like the Aria Awards? Hang on , you may not know of the Aria Awards seeing as it's an Aussie thing?! Anyhoo...either of these, or some other way?
