I started rereading A Game of Thrones again last night. It's a treat for the summer -- I haven't read A Song of Ice and Fire in a while and it's been a long semester year.

I've lost track of how many times I've read them now, but my eye for detail must be getting sharper, or maybe I'm just looking for new things to notice... I don't know. At any rate, I found what appears to be a continuity error, three pages into the prologue.

I guess I'll put it behind a spoiler tag.

If Waymar Royce, Gared, and Will have ranged nine days away from the Wall, how has Will drawn a dozen watches in the past week (during which he noticed that the Wall was weeping)?

I can't believe I've never seen this discussed at the Westeros Forum before. Greg said he can't believe the forum discusses such trivial details. I said he's obviously never been to the forum before.
