Well how about you hop on down to your local bookstore pick up the books and put that Dr. Seuss reading level of yours to the test before you mention not being able to wait.

I don't understand why they don't want to read the books either. If it weren't for the books I would've grown even more impatient waiting than I already have this past year.. It's already sad that I have to post on here and the ASOIAF forums to discuss the series with fellow fans, while we all have to wait and wait and wait and rehash and rehash the same theories over and over again .

Finishing up SoS.

I'm to the point where Jon is meeting with Stannis. And Jamie just freed Tyrion.

Holy crap this book got REAL. I feel like the show is going to break away from the book a good bit for season 4. Although the teaser trailer definitely has Tyrion in jail.

No joke my heart was jumping big time during the Mountain and dornishman fight scene. I saw it coming though a mile away though when he started taunting the mountain, I was like crap, this isn't going to end well. That was some good reading.

Does this thread have book 5 spoilers?

Both 4 and 5, so I'd tread lightly. I got a big thing spoiled for me because I started reading this thread liberally when I was at your point.

I thought he was going to kill him so Tyrion could go to Dorne, crown Myrcella, and then start the war all over again. Didn't go that way.

Yea I'm treading lightly. I'm only looking at posts that are directly replied to me.

Norah being banned was a surprise, I probably should have saw coming though.

I stopped mid chapter to come here :

He and Varys are in the boat. I'm also on the phone with my girlfriend who is out of town.

Sorry I had to talk to my girl, I hate stopping mid chapter...


WHOA. That was awesome. One of my favorite lines was earlier in the book was at the end of a chapter and Tyrion was thinking to himself "see what a quick learner I am father." That is a game changer though, wow.

Tyrion is a badass, I'm glad he choked share too, screw her traitor self.

Jamie getting a fresh start is going to be pretty sweet too. I actually thought he was going to bone her before he sent her off. I love those two's story line. That was pretty cool to give her the sword.

Some people don't have the time/desire to read 5 novels of 1000 plus pages.

Jaime's story is so much fun to read in ASoS. I think you'll really enjoy his chapters in AFFC too.

Not to mention it's not like the series is finished. Can't really blame someone completely for not jumping into reading a book with an uncertain timeline for releases. At least with the show they know they'll get a new season every year till it ends.

I'll be lucky if this series gets finished within 20 years of when I started reading it, can't blame someone for not wanting to jump in when the last two books took 11 years to write.

The books are superior of course, but can't blame everyone for not wanting to take the plunge.

True...I know 2 people IRL who started the books prior to watching the show. One started in 2003, the other in 2007. I feel bad for them both .

Rock bottom has to be when the Hodors finally want to read the books......but doesn't want to pass where the series is in story line.

I can kinda understand not being a reader but come the frick on....
