“I have been an English Lit. professor for over 20 years, and I’ve been a big ole book nerd all of my life, and the whole time I read ASOIAF, I could only imagine how immersive the world could be as a canonical course for lit majors.

“LmL does a very good job identifying and analyzing symbolism found in ASOIAF! He makes many interesting theories based on that symbolism, and present it all in an entertaining way. Some of his theories are a little out-there, but most make perfect sense I think. They’re all fun though, give it a...”Read full review »
