Funny scene which has been cut out of season 3. This has been shown on the Comi-Com 2013:
Quality isn't that great but at least subtitles are available.

Jon Snow may be a man of the North. But he's not afraid to go down south.

Jon Snow know two things...nothing and how to eat pussy.

I always imagined him to be fatter and maybe a little younger.

Yeah I always imagined him fatter, and he's supposed to be an awesome military/fighting guy...he seems way too "infirm" to be playing mace tyrell..

Only one who thinks Mace Tyrell is an awesome military/fighting guy is Mace Tyrell, and I'm not even sure of that.

Yeah you may be thinking of Garlas or whatever his name is, the brother of Loras and Margaery. But I don't think he even exists in the TV version. Mace Tyrell is repeatedly described as a fat idiot who THINKS he's a military genius.

Oh ok, I thought he was somewhat skilled militarily, I know who he is and the lands he controls, I think I was confusing his physical abilities/traits with Samwell Tarly's father, Randyll (I think maybe he's the tough guy I'm thinking of)

Yes, it'S definitely Randyll Tarly who is the military genius.

Mace Tyrell failed at the (1st) siege of Storm's End against Stannis, they mention it plenty of times in the book. Still I imagined him as an able plotter, trying to increase House Tyrell's influence in King's Landing.

But maybe that'S rather the work of his mother-in-law, the Queen of Thorns...

NECRO BUMP!

Someone recommending (can't go through 72 pages) another book since I finished reading all of the Song of Ice and Fire books.  They said it was similar (very long novels) but had some bits of fantasy in it. 

Anyone got any recommendations on books that may be similar to these?

Yeah that was it (Osiris mentioned in IRC).

He also suggested Bernard Cornwell books (Saxon series is what I'm going to give a try I think).

The Accursed Kings
is a sequence of seven historical novels by Maurice Druon, of the Académie française, about French kings. The novels take place during the reigns of the last five Direct Capetian kings and the first two Valois kings, from Philip the Fair to John II. The plot revolves around the attempts of Robert of Artois to reclaim the county of Artois from his aunt Mahaut.

I remember them as pretty damn good, but have read them when I was really young, so dunno...

Witcher's saga
First 3 parts, The Last Wish, Blood of Elves and Times of Contempt were translated into english. In a few countries Witcher's saga was elected as best fantasy books ever, even over LotR.

First Law
Joe Abercrombie

Mistborn
B.Sanderson

Anything by Joe Abercrombie, though the latter stand-alone sequels are an easier read than the First Law trilogy, which isn't as polished. Heroes and Best Served Cold were amazing.

I hear Malice by John Gwynne is similar, too. Richard Morgan's Steel Remains is something else to look at, if you want to head into the direction of shocking violence and sex.
