    something i'm wondering about,

    how many of thee 'bookless' are reading the wikis related to the story?

    are ye finding them helpful or are they adding to the confusion?

    as a book reader I fine myself referring to them for plot points, but the level of detail is a bit schitzophrenic, on the one hand they can be excellent at filling in points of back story around characters with great detail, but their overall synopsis of the chapters don't really do justice to the depth of the writing.

    so how do yo u use them, mostly for characters, or mostly for plotpoints?

    are they adding to your enjoyment of the show or are you finding some of the best bits being spoilered

    I use them a bit. A wiki of ice and fire is the best imho.
    Handy if you forget something, or to find out who a character is related to.
    Map of Westeros app is great too. Not available on google play any more, you need to download the apk

    Yeah, those guys have a ton of other info that might not neccessarily be specifically in the books, from years of correspondance with GRRM. IIRC it is run by westeros.org (Elio & Linda who appear regularly on Thronecast). GRRM has been using them as a sounding board for years.

    Does this one have spoilers in it? There was a very good wiki posted on the forum a few weeks ago but i've lost the link.
