Game of Thrones TV Thread **HBO-Purists ONLY**

The books are not fucking better. HBO is telling it in a more concise, logical fashion. I've decided to stop reading the books and just wait for the show to run its natural course.

Maybe because I thumbed though a dozen or so pages of LOTR, or I don't know why, but I had a feeling that I would feel this way if I read the books. I still could be wrong, you certainly seem to be the odd man out, but seeing someone dissent gives me hope that I've made the right choice.

However, I am very curious to know how many hardcore (watch each ep several times, spend countless hours reading and participating on forums, etc) non book reader GoT fans will be left by the time the show wraps it's final season.

I've decided to stop reading the books

This statement is invalid.

It's like saying I've decided that the moon is flat. Your choices have no power here.

The books are better because they aren't logical and concise but sprawling and capricious. The spirit of the story that has Eddard Stark's head lopped off by a boy king's flash of inspiration is informed by this.
