One thing I like about the internet is that people do obsessive things and share them with others so I don't have to the footwork to learn interesting things like
how characters are connected in Stephen King's books. For one, I only own a few of King's books (
The Dead Zone in paperback and
The Stand as an ebook with some copy of the first
Dark Tower book somewhere on the shelves), so there's no way I could have charted this one out. I'm a little sad about George Bannerman now, though. But thank you, Gillian James!
Also of interest:
The Lord of the Rings Project.
It all started when Johansson was 14 and reading Tolkien's The Silmarillion, or trying to. There are so many freaking characters in the book that the young fan felt he needed a giant family tree to keep track of all of them. So he created just that.

Surely someone did this for Game of Thrones? Though there's the
A Song of Ice and Fire Wiki, which maybe doesn't have a chart but does have chapter summaries that are super useful if you feel like you're missing something or forgetting something as you read.
