Next season will be Clash of Kings.. should be pretty fucking awesome.

As Rain said.. there is a ton of shit still in the books that has been left out to save time/cash/etc.

I'll warn you though.. the books are fucking long & the author spends waaaaay too much time discribing food (he's a fatass irl so I understand).. anyways every book in the series is like 600+ pages.. still worth reading but fucking long ass books
