"When I was a boy, it was said that a long summer always meant a long winter to come. This summer has lasted nine years, Tyrion, and a tenth will soon be upon us.Think on that."


"When I was a boy," Tyrion replied, my wet nurse told me that one day, if men were good, the gods would give the world a summer without ending. Perhaps we've been better than we thought, and the Great Summer is finally on hand." He grinned.

So lately I have been reading the Game of Thrones a book by George R.R. Martin. Its good but it has taken awhile to get into. Maybe its because its been a while since I read anything in the historical context . But this is definitely a good read and there are 6 more in the series and I cant wait to read them!

Her eyes found him. They were full of poison. "I need none of your absolution, bastard."
