Did anyone actually read the Song of Fire and Ice novels?

I loved the TV show but reading the novels seems like a daunting job, it's not like reading a philosophical/literary novel in that it's over with the one book, it's a series of books each reaching, some surpassing a 1000 pages...I know it'll be worth it, but reading everything would take what...half a decade?

Yes, I've read all 5 of them so far.

They are excellent books and I highly recommend finishing them. Though if things like major differences between the book and tv formats bothers you then I wouldn't.

I'm actually kind of regretting that I read them. The second season of the show was so awful in comparison to the book that I stopped watching in the middle because they started doing things that just didn't happen in the book. Which was too bad because the first season was incredibly faithful and well done.

Also, the books won't take that long to read. They're so engaging that you'll just flat out power through them. I'm a fast reader personally, so I bought and read the 5 books that are out there in like 2 weeks but as I said, they're so engaging that it shouldn't take you very long to get through them.

Yea the books are pretty amazing...covers a lot more the show and GRM writing style is actually damn good. A Feast For Crows drags like a bitch though had a hard time getting through that one.

I so completely don't have the patience nor the attention span to read books that long. Let alone an entire goddamned series of them. My wife loves the Game of Thrones books though. No idea where she finds the time to read them since she's definitely not reading them at home. Especially since we're on WRESTLEMANIA REWIND right now. WM 1 & 2 were today. Gonna try to make it through all of them by WM29.

I'm ordering the first book atm from a local online bookstore.

The first one is selling for 279 Rs. (5$) published by HarperCollins. It says "Game of Thrones" instead of "A Game of Thrones" though, and it has the "HBO: TV Tie-in edition" label on it. Any differences or is it just the same thing in a different form?

EDIT: Never mind, it's the same thing. Should be here in a day or two. Very excited.

I'm a slow reader, I really like to absorb the text before turning the page so there's no way in hell I'll be finishing all five books in 2 weeks, I always enjoy books, academic or otherwise..more when I'm reading them slowly.

While I don't hate him that much I have to admit he does make stupid faces and gestures. For some reason I lol'd when he attacked the legends at the previous RAW.

What the fuck was the point of that match with Duggan anyway.

 

[Crippler]

Duggan is a FAKE American.

 

[We Are Legion]

I wonder if Duggan will ever find that Ho he's been looking for all these years.

And then beat her with his 2x4 and finally turn heel.

Duggan is a FAKE American.

it all makes sense now.

Went and saw that Arj Barker show last night, was fantastic. Hilarious as always from Barker and he even included a song and dance this time. He is performing around 25 shows over four weeks at the Fringe festival and this is the last week and yet it was basically a sellout of close to 300 people. Will have to see him again when he tours next year.

I love the books. I'm still on Feast for Crows because I'll usually read the books on my way to work and going back home or when I'm waiting for the doctor.

Was season 2 really that bad compared to the book? I didn't watch season 2 yet so this concerns me.

Yea the books are pretty amazing...covers a lot more the show and GRM writing style is actually damn good. A Feast For Crows drags like a bitch though had a hard time getting through that one.

Yup. That's the one I'm reading at the moment and it is definitely a lot slower paced compared to the other books. Generally, it takes me a while to finish the books though because I am so occupied with work.

I'm going to make you read them! They're very well written. You don't have to read them in one day.

I read them while I am on the bus and subway, fool!
