Yes I hadn't heard of game of thrones until I saw a thread recently. I don't have hbo but I've just started the second book and am hooked. I'm not interested in seeing the show though.

I watched the first episode of GoT and someone told me it was a book
i recorded the rest until i finished the book... it took a week... then i read the next 3 books in the next 3 weeks... then when Dance came out i read it immediately

Feast can easily be read in a week.
But SOS and COK in 2 weeks? Did you leave the house?

Started the books during the summer after Season 2. Read all 5 in a span of about 2 and a half weeks. Many summer classes were skipped because I'd be reading in the quad and the chapter just go too good and I couldn't make myself stop.
Had Ned Stark's death spoiled for me by an article on the show, and had arguably the biggest spoiler of all spoiled for me on accident on here.

I ended up picking up the books shortly after the first season ended. I intended on just reading the books as the show progressed, got into Game of Thrones, and within a few weeks had read clear through A Dance with Dragons.
You read all 5 of those books in a few weeks?
lol, I started reading at the end of 2nd season and havent finished feast yet.
To be honest, after Storm, Feast is slow, but then again, I'm not a big reader.

It's much better on a reread when you understand many of it's implications

I'm on book 4 of wheel of time right now.... To be honest I was hoping for more.
Not that it's bad but I think ASOIAF spoiled me with the "gritty" fantasy. WOT just can't hold my interest fr extended periods of time like my favorite books do. There are entirely too many POV characters that I neither hate nor like. I just don't give a shite what happens to the vast majority of the characters. I just want to see Rand, Perrin and Lan frick shite up and Robert Jordan seems like he was bound and fricking determined to keep me from seeing that.
Man, if you don't like it in book 4 you are really going to hate it when you get to books 7 and on. I consider WOT to be pretty much a standard middle of the road fantasy series. It's high points are very good, and Jordan wrote awesome fight scenes, but the series should have been about half the size it wound up being.
I know I've emailed you some book suggestions in the past, but I'd really suggest checking out Joe Abercrombie. With Martin being a slackass Joe is really the best thing going in gritty fantasy right now.

Yes. Out of spite because he wanted to stay in the non-reader thread answering people's non-reader theories. When people started bitching that they didn't need his answers, he demanded they apologize. I totally get why the non-readers are so militant after that (even if they are a little ridiculous).
Yeah, the people who wonder why we talk so much shite to each other don't realize that the venom goes back at least a year. TNBoy is one of those people who I hope is a troll and doesn't actually believe all the shite he posts.

I started reading after watching the first episode. Not because of spoilers though, just on recommendations by some of you posters.
Glad I did. Finished all of them before the summer ended.

I'm a pretty big reader and it was the start of summer break. Lots of poolside and back porch swing reading.

It's not terrible but I thought it was supposed to be this great series and its really kind of pedestrian.
And I'll look Joe up. Where should I start with him?

Same thing kinda happened for me, but haven't skipped any classes yet. I have a lot of breaks and procrastinate a lot so I'm almost done. Luckily when it comes to getting work done I work better under pressure so...
