Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire) The Fantasy Thread

[DoesntReallyMatter]

I found the books to be kind of dull (I mean, a page and half to describe the food?)
Still read four, so far, so... it's all %. I liked it.

But, the HBO series is good.

I'll wait till the 4th season ends, and then binge.

I find the books can be really tedious at times. Maybe it's because I haven't passed the second book (I hear book 3 is the best) but the story line is worth the read. I agree that it gets overly descriptive at times. I feel myself saying "ok ok get to the good part already." The wait however after that becomes satisfying.

These comments are strange, considering that George R. Martin is one of the fastest moving fantasy writers around.
