I was introduced to the series A Game of Thrones today. Game of Thrones is the first book of the series The Song of Ice and Fire.. I watched the first part of the series today and I have the book in hand as I type this. I have read all the background information I could find and I shall start reading today.
I am pretty sure it is going be enthralling just like the 52 minutes I watched today.
Cheers to fantasy and cheers to imagination.
Who is the author? Well it is George R. R. Martin. The man has been compared to Tolkien.

Flipped
I watched the movie flipped today. Awesome movie. It makes you ponder. It makes you think. It makes you cry and it makes you look for that complete landscape. I have the book on hold and I shall read it soon. The movie is amazing. You should watch it. I am glad I did.
Favorite quotes from the movie:
"Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss...." He turned to me. "But every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.”
"A painting is more than the sum of the parts,” he would tell me, and then go on to explain how the cow itself is just a cow, and the meadow by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you’ve got magic.”

A. J. Cronin
I have grown up reading A. J. Cronin’s work. He is the first doctor writer I knew about and read. I just finished reading another book of his today. “The Keys of the Kingdom,” is a good book. I found that I liked the main character. His strength of spirit and his kindness was something one wanted to emulate. I actually found myself teary eyed at the end. The one thing I find all A.J. Cronin books have in common is the ability to make one feel overwhelmed.
