Am considering....

starting Game of Thrones. I am a total neophyte to the series.

Good idea/bad idea? (Alas, I do not get HBO and so cannot feast my eyes on Sean Bean.) But I saw some initial promotional material which certainly intrigues me. Especially given a cursory check with Googlefu, which notes the influence of the history of the War of the Roses on the series.

And I don't find them hopeless, at all (aside from the possibility of the series not getting finished--I can foresee a very fine ending, if it ever gets there--and also aside from the bad things that happen to good people).
