Oh, believe me, so am I.
I was resistant to even reading the books at first, my friend told me to read them when I was in the Navy on a long cruise. I was like "I don't like fantasy books, dragons and magic don't do it for me." Boy, was I wrong. I have never gotten into a series like this one. I have read the books twice, and it has made me a bit of a purist when it comes to the series.
I do understand some of the characters being combined. This book series was deemed unfilmable, because of the scope and magnitude of it. Some of it, I don't understand, though. The replacement of Jeyne Westerling with Talisa as Robb's wife is one that rankled me, coupled with the fact that her character was present and murdered at the Red Wedding in the series, but Jeyne was sent back to the Crag and wasn't killed in the books.
Also, why not give Tyrion the different colored eyes that are so prevalent in the books?
And a minor but fantastic line was omitted, and I don't know why. When Tyrion kills Tywin, why oh why couldn't he say the line "Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold." I wanted it so bad!

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
