"A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone."
So says the dwarf character in George RR Martin's epic fantasy Game of Thrones, which is being turned into a TV series by HBO. He has only his wits to protect him in a dangerous fantasy world (but then, are there any safe ones?). I'm not sure if the line is from the original book or from the scriptwriter, but I suspect the former. George RR Martin was involved with the TV series Beauty and the Beast back in the 1980s, and they were always quoting Tennyson and hanging around in bookshops.
I bet he'd enjoy Hay.
