Quick Hits: Easter weekend edition

Here is a real quick Quick Hits post, mostly for general discussion:

• George R. R. Martin is named to TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People list. Book fan and comedian John Hodgman writes up an essay on GRRM.
• The issue of racism in Game of Thrones has become a bit of a talking point recently. Slate and National Review chime in on the topic.
• A good interview with David Benioff and Dan Weiss over at Screen Junkies. Some slight small spoilers for those who haven’t read past the first book.
• George R. R. Martin was interviewed by Empire magazine. Lots of stuff we already have heard, but overall a good read with a few new tidbits of info.
