What are you reading right now? (possible RotE spoilers)

But without Dany no Missandei.

Oh, and if the list does NOT include Sansa I'll block her too

Aye, there is that I suppose. Sansa grew on me in later books.

[Farseer]

If Arya, Dany or Tyrion are in that list, I'll permanently block Farseer

I can't say anything then, on the grounds that our friendship may suddenly cease, as one of those three was most certainly on my mind when I made my post!

Things have changed a great deal since I said 'four' though, and now that one has redeemed themselves to the point that they have even become a favourite. I'm off to the ASoIaF thread to share anything further, lest I offer up spoilers here...

I might forgive you if Dany or Tyrion are on that list, but Arya would be really unforgivable. Choosing Sansa over Arya would be like preferring Regal over Verity.

or choosing boiled hay over a three-course gourmet dinner?

Hahahaha!

This.

Sure I'd choose Verity over Regal as a likeable fellow, but Regal is needed as a character to bounce off of. If you kill off all the bad characters, where is your strife?

That said, I still haven't forgiven GRRM for killing off

Eddard Stark

(Don't look unless you've finished the first book).

Hmm, yeah. I can safely say I was appalled with that particular loss, Narya. Though that wasn't when I had to stop reading for a time. No, that moment came somewhat later on. After picking my chin up off the floor, I cracked on with it, as one must!

Well, I restarted the book of all books: Lord of the rings. Been ages since I read that one, I used to read it once every year....

For shame, I've not read Lord of the Rings It's on my list of things to do...

Joost, I used to read LOTR frequently, before the genre it started was filled with so many other wonderful books. In fact, it was the only fictional series I ever re-read numerous times, until I found Hobb's books. Both are very good for escaping reality, and for musing over The Meaning of Life. The trilogy, and the Silmarillion, present a whole philosophy/religion/world view that can induce hours of musing. In fact, I'm on three other message boards started by Tolkienites.
