Quote of the Day – March 18, 2013

Don’t fight for a king. Don’t fight for his kingdoms. Don’t fight for honor, don’t fight for glory, don’t fight for riches, because you won’t get any. This is your city Stannis means to sack. That’s your gate he’s ramming. If he gets in it will be your house that burns. Your gold he steals, your women he rapes. Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let’s go kill them!

Tyrion Lannister (played by Peter Dinklage)

Season 2

I just finished Season 2 of Game of Thrones and I have to say it was awesome once again.  I can’t wait until Season 3… which I can only watch once it hits DVD since I don’t have HBO.

But, watching this series I wonder something.  I love the series, and the story, and Tyrion is great.  Yet, I cannot get past page 100 in the actual book.  And I have tried twice already.  I fear that if I try once more, I will end up throwing the book into a corner and forgetting it.  Or worse, I won’t like the series.

Astounding

I find it astounding that there are some books that I cannot read, though I will watch TV series and movies based off them.  Case in point, I have attempted to read A Game of Thrones twice.  The furthest I have gotten is someplace shy of page 100.  Yet, I have devoured HBO series, working through Season One and with only four more episodes left in Season Two.

Is there any book that you have not been able to read, though you can watch the story presented in other media?

If it’s “creepy” to use the Internet, military satellites, and robot aircraft to find a house full of gorgeous young models so I can drop in on them unexpected, then fine, I’m “creepy”.
