Ooh, figs! That's another plant to add to our list of stuff we'd like to grow. Don't suppose I'll manage to get one as cheap as yours though. I think the shrubs and trees we grow will end up doing better than any annuals as we're both notoriously lazy when it comes to the garden. Though our excuse so far has been that we've been tending gardens that aren't our own and that don't grow anything useful. Hopefully the prospect of nice home-grown veg will change that.
I think GRRM intended ASOIAF to only be 5 books long when he started writing it and doing the last 2 as volumes of 1 book was intended to help him stick to that. I remember reading somewhere fairly recently though that he'd said it probably was going to stretch to 7 books after all. Still that means several more good books to come. I prefer paperbacks too, but GRRM is visiting the UK in October to do a book signing tour so I think it'll have to be a hardback for me.
