So Bear, are you going to continue to discuss Song of Ice and Fire in this thread since you aren't watching the show until the book comes out? Reading over this, I definitely think BenJen was at R&L wedding as the person to give away the bride. Dorne women definitely don't look at monogamy the same as the rest of Westeros although mistresses are common. I just wonder how much certain people believed in Rhaegar's vision of the coming winter. BenJen may have went to the wall because Rhaegar knew the Wall was important. It is going to piss me off if GRRM never ties up that loose end. I started rereading the books but they are so damn long I have other books I want to read and gave up.

Have you read any of the other books like the Dunk and Egg book?
