PSA for Sandor Clegane fans

Radio Westeros has posted a podcast entitled Sandor - A Knight's Honour, which is described as a "Look at Sandor Clegane’s arc in ASoIaF, with special contributions from members of the Sandor Clegane re-read project at westeros.org. Including an overview, special analyses of Sandor’s relationships with Gregor, Sansa and Arya, and a close look at the Sandor=Gravedigger theory."

And with regard to the re-read project first announced on the A Stranger's Kiss blog, westeros.org forum members Milady of York, Brashcandy and Doglover have opened the thread and begun the discussion. Those of you familiar with the on-going project From Pawn to Player: Rethinking Sansa are no doubt aware of the quality of discussion and analysis these posters (as well as those offered by guest contributors) bring to their projects. If you're in any way interested in digging deeply into the character of Sandor Clegane and what we can glean from the text, I'd suggest you track this thread. You don't have to register on the westeros.org forum to read along, but only members may post in the threads.

I made the decision the other night to do a re-read of books that I was made to read when I was younger. I re-read "1984" a year or so ago and was amazed at how much better I understood it and connected to it as an adult. Reading "the Stranger" in high school English and "l'Etranger" in an upper-level college French class were two completely different experiences. So now I'm going to do the same with some other ~classic~ high school/200-level English books. I'm starting with Romeo and Juliet tonight. I mean--"civil blood makes civil hands unclean"? I ACTUALLY GET THAT NOW.
