I've read quite a few novels set around the Siege of Leningrad - it's endlessly fascinating, how people survived in those extremities.

Do you know that Benioff is one of the writers for the TV series Game of Thrones? I'm convinced that's why so many people are watching it. It's certainly not the "genius" of George R.R.
