Random quote: "A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. " -- The Economist

Location: Middle TN, USA		I must admit that I do not normally watch Conan O'Brian's late night show, so I don't know what his interview style is, but when I saw that George R. R. Martin, Author of "A Song of Fire and Ice" series, or Game of Thrones, as it has come to be known, was on last night , I decided to watch it. OMG, it was obvious from the first 30 seconds of the interview that, Mr. O'Brian had never read any of the books. He spent the entire interview talking about the TV series, which Mr. Martin does not even write! Mr. Martin handled the interview very well, and several times mentioned that people should read the book. So, did any other fans watch the interview, and what was your take on it?

I was just watching to see the glee in GRRM's eye when talking of shocking people with the Red Wedding. He seems very happy about it all, which is awesome.

That video segment in the interview where they showed people's reactions was really great!  I wish I had thought to film my wife during that scene.  When the first knife came out she sat bolt upright, eyes wide, gasping for breath then started screaming "Nooooooo!  No!  NO!  No, please God, no....."  Afterwards she was quiet for a few minutes then she turned on my like it was my fault.  "What the hell was that?  Why didn't you tell me that was coming?  What is wrong with George R. R. Martin?  I don't think I can watch this show anymore."  This is the clean version, of course.

After she calmed down I told her that was the second scene in the series that caused me to throw my book across the room and swear off of it.  Like me she went back for more.  She HAS to see Geoffrey get his now.
