Reading progress update: I've read 24%.

I know one of the appealing aspects of the Starks is their harsh code of honor. But come on guys, get your shit together! I know what is coming- not like you can avoid be spoiled for a certain crimson matrimonial catastrophe these days-- but I can't wait for the Starks to realize there is more than one kind of honor. Tywin may be an evil prick, but at least he has foresight, unlike a few honorable-but-soon-to-be-dead northerners I could name.
This series is eating me alive (in a good way, I guess).
