Shark Liver Oil

It's the part of the book that goes along with Season 3 of Game of Thrones, around episodes 4 and 5 (but possible spoilers for later episodes too). We're reading from a chapter about Sam, starting with 'Sobbing, he took another step', all the way to a chapter about Bran, starting with 'No roads ran through the twisting mountain valleys'. That's page 236 to page 331 in the paperback and Kindle edition of 'Steel and Snow'.

NOT ONLY dark wings BUT ALSO dark words; also featuring the slow rise of Tyrion Lannister AND an historic occurence: Arya Stark does something other than go for a walk! Also Dave resists the temptation to say 'The Lamb Men of the Lazaerene' closely into the microphone. We're reading from a chapter featuring Bran, starting 'The ridge slanted sharply from the earth', to a chapter about Sam (BOSH, new POV character bonus!) starting 'Sobbing, Sam took another step.' It's roughly episode 2 and 3 of season 2 of Game of Thrones, with a bit from episode 1 - but this is the book. As ever, get in touch on Twitter: @sharkliveroil, or via email: [email protected].

We're covering George RR Martin's third book in his Ice and Fire series - A Storm of Swords! In this part we check in with a few familiar faces and meet a few new ones like Mance Rayder and the Queen of Thorns. This Shark Liver Oil covers material from the start of Storm Of Swords as far as p122. When you get to a chapter about Bran which begins "The ridge slanted slightly..." stop reading! As ever send your feedback in to [email protected] or @sharkliveroil on Twitter.

It's the last in our series following the second Game of Thrones book, A Clash of Kings. This time it's the bit of the book that goes with episode 10 of the TV series: Valar Morghulis. We've got some naked leech war council action. We've got the possibility of a Zombie King. We've got a creepy Bride-of-Chucky vibe, at one point; and we've got twists, set-ups and shocks galore. It's Shark Liver Oil; it's George RR Martin; and it's still only the second book. Next up: the book that inspired season 3. 'A Storm of Swords, Part 1: Steel and Snow'. Get ready. It's on.

This is it. The big one. Put on your armour, grab you sword and shield, form up an get ready for the biggest battle yet. It's Shark Liver Oil's page by page guide to the Battle of the Blackwater from George RR Martin's book A Clash of Kings. Get ready for a medieval rendition of the Normandy Landings as Stannis's forces storm the mighty walls of Kings Landing. Bring it on. If you've any comments to make on the battle of the blackwater, get them in to [email protected] or find us on twitter @sharkliveroil.

It's Part 7 of Shark Liver Oil's page by page guide to A Clash of Kings - George RR Martin's second book in his Song of Ice and Fire/ Game of Thrones series. This one's called a man without honour. Can you guess who that might refer to? Here's a clue - he's betrayed his second family, fallen out with his dad and recently pushed a septon down a well. Oh and yes, we're spelling "honour" like that. With a "u" in it. Because we're English and that's how we spell it. Any comments on the book or the cast - get them to [email protected] or @sharkliveroil on twitter.

Back for another slice of Shark Liver Oil action as we bring you our sixth part of our coverage of GRRM's second Ice and Fire book - A Clash of Kings. We talk about terribly polite assassins, we see the river lords finally get on the scoreboard and there's your chance to win a free, all expenses paid trip to the House of the Undying*.

Woooooo! Woooooooooo! Wooooooooooooooo!!!! Listener Beware! It's the Ghost of Harrenhal! Don't go around telling horrible stories about innkeepers daughters or threatening to set your dog on people - or you might end up having an UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.. And speaking of unfortunate accidents - what's up with Renley? Shark Liver Oil enters part 5 of its coverage of A Clash of Kings. There are some big shocks... so BEWARE! Got any thoughts on the book or the cast? Email [email protected] or tweet @sharkliveroil

We continue our gallop through George RR Martin's A Clash of Kings, and we're up to part 4, in which there is a Garden of Bones. Also starring: Theon's regrettable libido, a medieval fratboy King, and the setup for the worst sitcom in the history of Westeros. Let's get freaky.
