...sorry for snooping in your LJ, but I was, well, snooping in your LJ, and I just had to squee a bit upon seeing you read GRRM. And Bujold. They're two of my favorite authors!
Though I'd actually disagree that GRRM is so much better at the actual realistic world-building than Rowling is. He's simply tons better at hiding the seams - on close reflection there are a thing or two that don't entirely seem to make sense, but you only notice it on the third or fourth read because before that, you're too bedazzled by the plot and characters.
