http://www.hbogo.com gave access to several more cable/dish providers yesterday. If you just added HBO for Game of Thrones, you might as well make the most of your money and check out some of the older series. Rome is probably the closest to Game of Thrones, but all the other series like Sopranos and The Wire that have been on HBO are there too, and the excellent miniseries like Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

My god. This guy is maybe the most repulsive looking actor I've ever seen.

The boy from Soad-Aerials is more pleasant to look at.

Almost three weeks after the premiere of HBO’s Game of Thrones, and the effect on sales of George R.R. Martin’s backlist is palpable. The New York Times Bestseller list features the series all over it:

Paperback Trade Fiction: A Game of Thrones #8.
E-book Fiction: A Game of Thrones #7, A Clash of Kings #27.

On Amazon.com, the series dominates 8 of 20 spots in the SF/F Bestseller list, with the four-book set also holding the #8 on the overall bestselling books list. And on the other side of the Pond, Amazon.co.uk features the series on its overall list, with A Game of Thrones currently holding the #2 spot, and A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords also in the Top 20.

Oh, frak! I just found out now that A Dance With Dragons- the 5th part of his fantasy series A Song Of Ice And Fire - is now complete. That's right, George R R Martin has finally finished writing it after five years!!!

A Dance With Dragons will be released worldwide on 12 July 2011. :twothumbsup:
