I got to the middle of the third one before I gave up.

I know it's a Song of Ice and Fire and that each book has its own title and that only the first one is called "Game of Thrones." Everyone knows what I'm talking about when I say I've read the Game of Thrones books.

I don't want to read the books. Not yet anyway. I like the shock factor that I get from certain episodes, like the last one.

Oh believe me, you still get the shock from the books. They're certainly well written in that regard.

It wasn't that, I just didn't expect you to read more than one book when you said you hated it.

I said I hated the books, not book.

The first one was actually very enjoyable. I loved the fact that there were no really good guys or really bad guys. There's just guys with motives and I could really see where everyone was coming from. I also loved that no character was safe. It was refreshing to read a book where I had that legitimate fear for a character.

I can certainly see how someone could lose interest through books two and three. Honestly, book four didn't do it for me either when he only took half the characters he was writing about and saved the rest for book five, making book four about everyone I don't care about.

I found this really good fan guide to read books 4 and 5 simultaneously (not exactly in chronological order, but in a way that tries to bunch chapters from the same book together without spoiling anything that would happen to a POV character before their chapter comes up), and it's made book 4 very tolerable. There's a lot of cool characters in book 4 as well (Cierce and the Iron Islanders most of all).

The last third of book 2 and the last third of book 3 are the best parts of the series that I've read so far, though.

It was somewhere in book three that I began to feel like the story wasn't really going anywhere and that the author wasn't going to finish the series before he died so there'd be no point keeping up with the books anyway.

I got into the Dresden files instead. I'm on book 11.

If there wasn't so much political relevance crammed into the Cersei chapters I'd skip over the whole thing every time I saw the bitch's name. Ditto for Sansa.

I just recognized that GRRM was trolling his readership and decided not to stick around for the end of it.

Yeah, I recognize that Dresden Files are not high art. They're enjoyable as hell.

You've been dying since the day you were born
You know it's all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rides
A sinner once
A sinner twice
No need for confession now
Cuz now you've got the fight of your life

The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On to the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die

I like the books well enough, but it's hard for me to find time to read anymore. I can fit in a 45 minute episode on my lunch break though.

Nah, Cersei chapters are really good. In addition to all the politics, she's a really interesting character and it intrigues me to see paranoia overcome her. She's pretty much Aerys II Targaryan by the part I'm reading now.
