The hype is up on Pluto. Apparently they have found mountains on the surface of the tiny planet. I don’t know why they are so excited about the finding. Isn’t there a mountain range of some sort on our own moon. So, the planet must have some movement of it’s solid surface, whatever that may be.

I want to know why they changed the planet’s status from being a planet of our solar system like I had been taught in school back in the 70’s and 80’s.

Next they are going to tell us that there are inhabitants on the planet. Little stardust fairies are living underground waiting to board their spaceships to travel too our world and rob our resources. Oh hold on, we’re doing that to ourselves anyways.

Tell me, what happens if we continue to remove all the oil from within the earth? Will it collapse on itself? I’ve heard that they fill these wells back up with water, but I can’t imagine that water staying put. It eventually evaporates, doesn’t it?

Pluto is so far away from the sun. I find it hard to believe that anything could live in those kinds of conditions. Except for maybe the Others from the Game of Thrones. They like it cold, don’t they?

I’m on book 4 of the Game of Thrones, and still waiting to find out where the Others come from. Could be it is a portal from the planet/start dust Pluto.

I like GRRM writing. I love the books. My favorite characters are Tyrion, Arya, Jon Snow, and of course Daenerys Targaryen. I’m really hoping that the rumor of Jon Snow’s death in the last episode of Season 5 HBO series isn’t true. Did they kill Ghost? Don’t they have to kill the beast to kill the warg?

I see there is a new book out. Book 6. I will find it hard to believe that there will be anyone left alive when I get to that book.

“There comes a time when you sit down to write but the need to read overcomes you.”

Reading – Game of Thrones – Clash of Kings – book #2

I know I need to get to work on the next book. Orgarlan has been waiting for me to return for some time. I haven’t forgotten it. There’s been other stories craving for my attention. The Game of Thrones has remained at the top of my list. It would be so easy to just buy the series on Amazon and watch the video of it, but I really wanted to read the books instead. I’m glad I chose the later route. George Martin is a fantastic story teller. I love his style, it fits well with my own style.

Each time I sit and open up a file to work on, I always wind up reading on the Kindle app on my desktop. This book, for me, is more addictive than facebook.

I know there’s nothing wrong with that. GM is a master, and while I’m reading his work, I’m studying it. His story is written in multi characters. Everyone has a tale to tell about the common events taking place. He makes character building look easy, though I’m sure there is more to it than there seems.

Have you ever come across an author that has struck a chord with you in their style and language to the point you need to read each book there after because you can’t get enough of them?

Tell me about them. I’d love to hear which authors hooked you with a hook, line and sinker.
