A Game of Thrones

Sometime in April, I forget the date but my wife knows, HBO is beginning a new series based on a series of books by George R.R. Martin. The book series is called A Song of Ice and Fire but the TV series is titled after the first book, A Game of Thrones. Four novels have been published already with the 5th finally due out in July. I'm writing this under The Book Chamber because although we're eager to see the TV series, our enthusiasm is guarded because, let’s face it. Theatrical adaptations don’t always do a book justice. On the other hand, I wanted to recommend the books. They average about 800 pages but I fly through them and I’m not that fast a reader.
