Do you like A Game of Thrones yet? I certainly hope so. However, if gigantic fantasy books aren’t your thing, HBO is working on a television series. Please watch it and then you will like A Game of Thrones and then you can come back to these links.

Alternatively if you really like languages you’d also be interested in these. The basic gist is that a guy was hired to create a language for the Dothraki people (which didn’t exist in the books per se) for the TV series. Many people are the kinds of nerds who’d want to learn a fantasy language (or probably another, to supplement their in-depth knowledge of Klingon), and so they have rallied to support this new and exciting language. One guy in particular wants to challenge those people by creating an inhuman language that breaks as many of the natural human language patterns as possible. Amazingly enough, the guy who created the language responded, basically just saying that it was too little, too late and also that humans should speak like humans. It wouldn’t really make sense to create an abnormal human language for normal humans.
