George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books are being turned into a show on HBO or well at least a pilot. I have heard about those books a lot and always great things. I kinda look forward to it. Hopefully HBO approves it and we get us a fantasyish show

What are your opinions of this and of novels being turned into series lately?

Here's a blog with info about stuff for the show if you would like to take a gander.
