Scrolls Book Group: A Song Of Ice And Fire

In which we try to harness George RR Martin\'s vast, fiery beast as it spawls triumphantly across the gems of modern Fantasy.\\xa0 From the very first book,\\xa0A Game Of Thrones, this series has proven to be one of those compulsive reads that ignite the passions of a whole generation of readers, reaching far beyond the traditional boundaries of genre preference.

Joining us for the podcast are returning special guests Matt - The Grampus from\\xa0Dissecting Worlds, and Carey - she of the Two-Monkeys from\\xa0Geektress.

We tackle the books one by one and focus on a particular theme for each.\\xa0 There are Major plot spoilers throughout and we do skip back and forth between books on occasion, so we strongly recommend that you only listen to this episode once you have finished reading Book 5:\\xa0A Dance With Dragons.

Warning: contains gratuitous boobies.

Amongst the many items up for discussion are: Whose fault is it anyway, Why should you never bring your mum to work, Feuds and the Feudal system, Alternative weapons of war, Cers Ei Coyote, What\'s eating Red R\'hllor, and The ignominous fate of bastards.

In order to do the series justice we\'ve recorded a far longer episode than usual - but never fear!\\xa0 For those of you who prefer your podcasts in bite-sized chunks we have divided the episode up into approximately half-hour segments with a\\xa0musical cue\\xa0from the stunning\\xa0HBO television series\\xa0to seperate them.
