Why do people put in the time and effort to read these when they could be reading actual books and then watch the fucking show for a bit of escapism?
cause the show poops itself after season 4
Books are much better than films

They are way too long... People get off on all the nuggets GRRM hides throughout and speculate on theories. It's fun, entertaining, but not literature.
Saged.
>>7687446
Because people like shit.

Thats was i thought
Ive read them. But i just cant get into them. Ive never enjoyed magic or the whole medieval setting.
Why do people put in the time and effort to complain/shitpost about what other people enjoy reading when they could be reading actual books?

>watch the fucking show for a bit of escapism
because i prefer to read for escapism, the books are more portable, easier to start and stop than a show, the total time commitment for 1 season:1 book is comparable, and i started them before the show, so why ruin my version of how the characters look?

I read the books and don't get where you're coming from. I like to read, that's why I'm here. Don't think ASOIAF is the best thing ever written, but so what. At least the books don't have a shoehorned arc where a eunuch falls in love.

Well, I like to eat but I choose not to eat turds.
>>7687559
but do you eat nothing but boiled chicken, kale and brown rice, or do you like to have some bacon or snickers mixed in there every once in a while?
>>7687446
Because they're good literature. I'd rather read A Storm of Swords than fucking Catcher in the Rye
>>7687567
I do enjoy bacon but I don't like chocolate since American chocolate tastes like shit.

George R. R. Martn collaborated with the showmakers, that means he acknowledges the appearances of the characters on the show as canon.
>>7687496
Shitposting is easy and good escapism after reading actual books.
>>7687446
Because DRUM ROLL- I enjoy reading them.
>>7687575
not all American chocolate is exactly the same. Why are you generalizing so much?
I think GoT is pretty shit but i fail to see how long ass shit like moby dick and les miserables are worth anyones time.
600 pages of whaling, whale dick, homoerotic undertones and ar its core a simple story about sailing after a big whale and dying.
>>7687477
why dafuq did you read them then?
>>7687446
literature IS escapism
>>7687620
>imagination trumped by "canon"
don't you have a star wars thread somewhere to shit up?
