Consequences of lunchtime reading...

[corilannam]

Whoa. I just fell in love with Jaime Lannister. How the hell did that happen?

Wait until you meet his brother Tyrion.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been crazy about Tyrion since word one. Jaime was a bit of a harder sell, but three books later, I think I finally get it!

[lapislaz.livejournal.com]

Ah! OK, I'm still in book 1. I eagerly await my conversion to Jaime love.

[slightlytookish]

Hahaha, yay! Which book are you reading?

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

The third one. I just got to the part where he jumps into the [redacted] pit to help [redacted].

[slightlytookish]

Ooh, such a great part! Jaime/[redacted] is my #1 ship. The snark! The banter! It's always the way to my heart, lol.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

I know, I love them! The relationship building there is just excellent.

[sneezer222.livejournal.com]

I'm a Tyrion girl myself. :)

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've adored Tyrion from the get-go! He's my favorite character in the books, bar none. I have not, however, been nearly as fond of his siblings up to this point in book 3.

[sneezer222.livejournal.com]

I'm not that far, so maybe I will learn to love him too.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Perhaps! I was pretty doubtful about all the Jaime love I was seeing on my flist from those who had read all the books, but I am beginning to understand. Or maybe it's just that he's really not any more morally dubious than anyone else at this point. *G*

Tyrion is still the most awesome, though!

[katie-m.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes. He's one of the few characters in the books who actually seems to be on something vaguely resembling an upward trajectory, you know?

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

I do hope it's upward! He deserves it (though his trajectory seems a bit wobbly in the part I'm on).

I have yet to fall in love with Jaime, but I think he's one of the least evil of the evil characters, so that's a start :D

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

You know, in these books, sometimes "least evil" is pretty high praise. *g*

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

You're reading the third book, aren't you?? That's when my Jaime love exploded. I started paging ahead to see when the next 'Jaime' chapter would pop up. :D

You'll love him even more by the end of the book and you'll stumble out of it wondering WTH HAPPENED. LOL.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

I am reading the third book! It's amazing what a difference it makes to be in his POV. I wish I had some Cersei POV chapters, too, to see if it would work similar miracles.

I really can't wait to see where his story goes next. If my copy of the book weren't electronic, I would probably have already looked ahead. *g*

[anna-zee.livejournal.com]

WHAT. NO.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. BUT IT'S TRUE.

[alshder]

It took me until my reread of book 3 to fully love him but I got there in the end. :D

And I won't say anything else because I don't want to spoil anything!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Hee! I can't wait to find out where his story is going! I find all the Lannisters very interesting, if not always likable.

[tracy7307.livejournal.com]

I haven't read the books YET but I've half-assed watched the shows and asked the bf to remind me which character this is.

His response: "sisterfucker". *sigh* my bf is an idiot.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well...colorful, but can't fault him on accuracy!

[tracy7307.livejournal.com]

leave it to my manchild to be so crudely accurate.

[franzi1981.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm well into A Feast for Crows now, and nope, not feeling it. Not feeling it for any Lannister, really. I can see what you mean, and I can see why people like Tyrion, but... no.

Me, I'm in love with Jon, Arya and Dany. *G*

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think the Lannisters are a very acquired taste, but I occasionally have a soft spot for the bad guys when they do something awesome to show their human side.

I love Arya so much! She is beyond awesome, and I love seeing her kick ass and be tough, while at the same time I just want to see her reunited with someone (anyone!) from her family and get to be safe for a while. I suspect I'll be waiting a long time. *g*

Dany is also so awesome -- I love her, too, though in a more distant way than Arya. There's something not quite human about her, but she gives me chills in a good way. The whole thing with the Unsullied made me flail. She's one of the two posters I bought from the HBO store.

Jon Snow is the utterly perfect woobie. *g*

[franzi1981.livejournal.com]

Jon Snow is the utterly perfect woobie.

At first, yes. But I get that feeling that his role will change a bit in a Dance with Dragons ;)

(and I'm a sucker for woobies. This explains why I love Jon Snow *G*)
