Content

Topics Moot continues with some meta-subject matter - authors who have influenced GRRM the most!  This is not an exhaustive list as a few of the authors who might other appear on this list are too far outside our knowledge base to discuss within our standards... but as you can see it's a big list. Several of these selections will get us reading something new to us, and perhaps we'll inspire you to do the same. Most of these choices will likely inspire us to bring on a guest.

This one is "bracket style". THREE of these will advance to the Finals this Friday. They will face off against 3 other topics chosen on Wednesday.

The Accursed Kings all the way for me. History is the biggest influence to fiction <3

Lovecraft! C’mon Aziz, I got too much to say here!
