He's... like he is in the photos XD Looks genki despite having just arrive from Birmingham (I think) this morning. He's doing 2 cities a day I heard, and have to go to Glasgow tomorrow or something. Didn't hear him read, was in a long queue outside Forbidden Planet, got inside and got him to sign, had a quick chat (that the big book's for friend in Germany, and the small one (one of his first ones) is for me XD) and was gone. XD
^_______^ Well, his beard was more.... wild than it is in that photo on his website XD
It's "A Game of Thrones". I got chatting with this really cool girl when queueing, and asked her which one's the first in the series, and she said this one ^^
It was SO LUCKY it didn't rain. Nearly did, several times *snicker*
Oh, you're gonna have fun, then, during your possible downtime (wah :(). Next to you, GRRM's the only author I know who seems to have fun killing of his major characters.
:O I still can't believe it! You queued! *hugs!!!*
*breaks out in giggles again* I'm glad. When I saw Neil Gaiman last year, he looked just so very tired that I almost wanted to tell him that I was sorry for dragging him there and keeping him so long for the signing...
:)) If you start with this first, you're probably gonna want to read the others, too. (Next one's Clash of Kings, then Storm of Swords, then Feast - the titles only sound dumb until you know the universe.)
