I don't follow anything ASOIAF related.  I hope the fat fuck finishes the series before he keels over.  I like the HBO show for what it is, but I don't want HBO to be the ones to finish the book series.  Example :  I want to read more about Jorah the Explorer rather than know he's about to die of greyscale like JonCon.  I also need to find out if my favorite shitlord returns from the ranging the Bastard sent him on.
