"We should be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains fall out" (С)
Я так понимаю, что среди того небольшого количества людей, которые меня читают, довольно многие знают язык прогрессивного человечества, а не только феню толстоевского. Тем, кто кроме этого ещё и интересуется "Песнью Льда и Огня", могу порекомендовать этот замечательный субреддит: http://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/
Там, в частности, печатают такую вкуснятину: 67 вопросов, на которые должен ответить Мартин в оставшихся книгах
1)The Lands of always Winter: George mentioned we would end up here, likely it is here where we learn mostly about the others. Maybe Uncle Stark makes an entrance as well.
2)Bran and the Gang: Whats going to happen to them?
3)Blood Raven: What is his end game? What is he going to do with Bran?
4) Coldhands: Who? What? Seriously, who is this guy?
5) Dead things in the water: What ever happened to the wildlings near eastwatch?
6)The Wall: Who is in charge now? Has it descended into chaos? Is Wun-Wun the wun in charge?
7)Jon "Ceaser" Snow: Dead? Wolf? Zombie?
8) Melisandre: See Bloodraven. What is her plan? Her motives?
9) Wildlings, Giants, a certain giant member: What is going to happen to the wildlings south of the wall now that Jon is (at least for now) out of the picture?
10) Winterfell: How long will the Boltons hold out?
11) King beyond the the Wall: How sorry should we feel for Mance and his lovely ladies? Were they responsible for every single one of the murders in Winterfell?
12) The North remembers: What are the loyal Stark bannermen (including Fats Manderly and the Umber crew) planning on doing about the Boltons?
13) Onions and Unicorns: What ever happened to lil Stark, Osha and Captain Mutha Fuckin Beard?
14) The Mannis: How is Stannis planing to win the Battle in the Snow?
15) Rhymes with Freak: Will poor Theon find redemption or just be served with some Heart Tree justice?
16)Queen Asha: Will Theons sister figure out a way to drag him back home again?
17) Iron Bank: Stannis sent some dude across the narrow sea to get troops. I dont even remember his name. This will likely be important though.
18) Greywater watch: People have been waiting since the Clinton administration for Howland Reed to come out of the swamps and start spreading some wisdom.
19) On the Road to Greywater Watch: A certain bastard may be pretty upset that his brother didn't just send him a text after learning that the two Stark Bannermen charged with naming a new heir to the King in the North got lost in the swamps for 13 years (and counting)
20) Heh: What is in store for the perps and captives of the Red Weddin?
21) Sends his regards: Is our favorite handsome, goldhanded, child-crippling, sister banging, kingslaying, smooth operating, recently reformed knight walking into a zombie trap? Yup.
22) Speaking of Zombies...: What is the Ladies stonehearted plan? Does it involve Tom o Sevens and the Frey Wedding? What did she do to Brienne?
23) I wonder where that fish did go? : Blackfish is missing. Will he attempt to rescue his nephew on the way to Casterly rock?
24)The ladder: Will Littlefinger succeed in his plan to marry Sansa to Harry the Heir?
25) The Mad Mouse: Will this lil fella steal Sansa and take her back to Kings Landing?
26) The Bastard of the vale: Will Sansa ever do something on her own volition beside play in the snow and brush her hair?
27) The lil Bastard of the Vale: Will poor Sweet-Robbin just kick the bucket already?
28) Ser Gendry: Will THIS bastard ever do something to validate his inclusion in all of this?
29) Greyjoy vs. Greyjoy: Over on the Iron Islands its King Crows Eye the cunning and sinister magician against Damphair: the ex drunk who found purpose via medieval CPR techniques. Who will win? Knowing GRRM they both get eaten by a kraken a few chatpers into Winds.
30) Manderly and his Ships: Did he say he was massing ships? I think he did...
31) Dragonstone: What ever happened to poor Ser Loras?
32) The Rock: GRRM mentioned that we will be seeing Casterly Rock for the first time in the next two books. My guess is that the Queen is going home.
33) Kings Landing: After Kevens run in with the little birds, who is in charge now? No one talks about this but it seems important to me.
34) The Faith: These guys kind of came out of left field. What are they planning with their new military?
35) The Trials: Two pretty ladies are in for some faith style fun, one of which even has a Frankenstein style fighter she named after her late husband.
36) Qyburn: What is this guys deal? See Coldhands. Seriously whats up with Qyburn?
37) Tyrell bannermen: What are the Tyrells planning on doing with the large amounts men marching to Kings Landing?
38) Varys: After Tywins Death, Has he just been running around inside the walls the whole time? Also, see Bloodraven, what is your deal?
39)Robert Strong: I said before he was a Frankenstein style monster, I was just guessing though. For all we know it is two of Varys` little birds standing on each others shoulders.
40) Ser Bronn Blackwater, Lord of Stokeworth: He is gathering sell swords, naming kids Tyrion, and just generally not giving a fuck. Typical Bronn. (As a side note, am I the only one who finds it funny that a sellsword ends up being named "Blackwater"?)
41) Tyrells need them ships: How are the Tyrells dealing with those feisty Ironborn?
42)Intrigues in Oldtown: What is Old Sam up to? What ever happened to that girl he liked? That kid? Something about a crazy magician/maester crossing the narrow sea to meet the Mother of Dragon? Some Dornish chick dressed like a dude is mixed up in all this too. Oh! not to mention...
43) Our Good Friend Pate, or was it Jaqen? : A magical shape shifting assassin is also mixed up in the intrigues of Oldtown.
44) The golden company: Refreshingly straight forward. Aegon Targaryen has landed and now he is conquering stuff in the Stormlands. Typical Targ... or IS he?
45) Ariannes sexcapades: Doran Martell has sent forth his daughter to figure out the deal with the Targ invasion 2.0
46) YAR: New pirate captain (pirate lord?), likely that Waters guy who Cersei in charge of the ships in Kings Landing. The story needed this.
47) The man with the plan: Doran Martell is sitting on his ass bossing his family around as per usual. This time his plan has something to do with poor Balon Swann and schlepping him around Dorne.
48) Darkstar: I am the night, I am on the run from Aero cause he gonna put an axe in me.
49) Myrcella: Poor thing is likely already traumatised for life; although knowing GRRM Myrcy is going to get lost on her way back north and run into a dude named "Ramsey"
50) As the final Westeros plot point: I should mention that Krakens were sighted off the coasts of Dorne. I dunno but to me that seems like a big deal. Now for the plot points across the narrow sea.
51)BRAVOS! : Our favourite little killer Arya is training to become a shape shifting assassin (psh, saw that coming). Where is GRRM taking this plot point? Smart money is on plot point 50 and 51 coming together in some spectacular way.
52) What ever happened to...: This is an honest question. What ever happened to the crew of the ship Tyrion rode with Prince Aegon? We know what happened to Connington, what about the others?
53)The Imp: Yup, it took 53 plot points to get to our second "Big Three" main character. Although stuck outside Meereen, Tyrion - as per usual - has plan, which will decide the fate of little Penny, Brown Benn, and our favourite slave trading spy, Jorah Mormont.
54)Meereen and the other free cities: War is going down between the free cities, GRRM will reveal to us why we care about all this.
55)Daario: Handsome fuck, what ever happened to him?
56) Ser Grandfather: Charged with the defence of a middle eastern style city across the sea from his homeland, Baristan must defend Meereen as the city is attacked by all manners of freaks and slaves. (Psh, saw that coming). Oh, and two dragons are on the loose around the city.
57) The various leaders of Meereen: I don't even know their names. At this point I hope Drogan eats the lot of them.
58)The Iron Dummy. Planning on making a grande aquatic entrance the battle of Meereen with his flame hand and dragon horn. Victarions entrance to the Slavers Bay story line is just gonna be so awesome.
59)The Mother of Dragons: When the sun rises in the west, and mountains crumble into dust, only then will Daenerys just get on a fucking boat already. The last we saw of our third main character she had come full circle by shitting herself in the desert. Some people on horses came as well. She also has a big fuckin Dragon.
60) AND FINALLY... Quaithe: See Coldhands, See Qyburn. Who are these people? Why do they have to be so weird?
Oh you thought we were done? How wrong you were. Here are the more general plot ideas not routed to one location.
61)Invasion of the Others: All of westeros is in danger of being run over by evil, undead summoning ice elf things. About 50 people in Westeros know about this, even less seem to care.
62) Prince that was promised, Azor Azai, Stallion who mounts the world, Dragon has three heads, etc: Are all these prophesies ever going to amount to anything?
63) Gods, seasons, Magic: Are we ever going to get an explanation of how all this malarky works?
64) Dragons: At some point, Westeros is bound to get a little roasty
65) Knight of the laughing tree: Who dat?
66) Promise me Ned: Promise me you will never have an inner monologue which makes any of mine and your past clear. In fact, promise me that you will mostly think of me when your doped up or half asleep.
67) ASOIAF: 17 years and counting, we still dont know what the deal is with the title. Yup, the title. In 5 books, GRRM has not even given us this one.
