I also enjoyed the Kushiel books by Jacqueline Carey - lots of epic political intrigue, BDSM, and gorgeously developed historical fantasy worlds. The last time I had a moment like I did when I saw Sean Bean was going to be in GOT, I was blindsided with a trailer for Phantom of the Opera and told Gerry Butler was going to wear those leather gloves.

Random, Lily: I'm assuming you've read the Sookie books - have you heard the rumors of who might play Bubba?
It's been a while since I sat down with a fiction book. Right now I'm rotating between Seeds of Deception (for my paper on GMO's), The Vertical Garden, Catching Fire (arguing about our evolution due to cooking our food) and Sagan's Demon-Haunted World.
Last I read Bubba wasn't going to be cast.
If you're on facebook and haven't yet you may want to friend Jacqueline Carey, like Anne Rice she's very approachable and present on her page. Of all the places to get intro'd to the Kushiel books, I was in the grocery store and I really did judge the book by its cover. It's an amazing series.
I had to wonder why Sean Bean takes these roles that are so limited in time?
The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
