SerArthurHeath Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I technically did this ages ago but I feel far more attached and involved in teh forum recently- I'm a recently finished med student/ recently qualified doctor from the UK. I love rugby, musicals and performing music in addition to books. I read ASOIAF because someone on a WoT site said they were basically necessary to read ages ago. I didn't get into the books until a fair way through Clash, now I love them of course. I also follow the show. I apologise for any flippancy or sarcasm, or pedantry and strong opinions, on my part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellus Explorer Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thank you! :) Unencumbered, the weird thing is that it's not the kind of show that I just completely obsess about and that I would stay up for until the middle of the night to watch it live. But it's strangely addictive? You just really want to know what happens next -- and if anyone actually survives.I just started reading the first book... I heard that, even though the show is good, the books are much better. I've only read the first 150 pages so far but I like it already and it's interesting to see the differences between the book and the show. I also noticed that there are characters that I like in the book but not in the show. For example Jon Snow -- I like him in the book, at least in the small parts that he's had so far -- but in the show most of the time I just want to push him off that wall. My favorite character is Jaime Lannister. I feel a bit morally compromised for liking him but I just think that he is a really interesting character, especially after you learn about his motovations behind the things he does. (Well, and he's pretty... but that has nothing to do with the fact that I like him... nothing at all...)I also like Arya, Tyrion, Samwell and a few smaller characters.Unfortunately there are a lot of characters on the show that I just don't care about because I feel like I don't know them at all. For example I didn't care about Robb Stark dying because I just didn't find him interesting at all. Maybe it's because I watched the show in such a short time. Hopefully it will be different when I read the books.Hey, so sorry for the delayed reply. How are you doing?Lol about Jon, :lmao: I'm not a fan of either but Kit is adorable :WUB: Are you still on the first book? How are you liking it so far?I agree that once you put in the time to watch the show, and find characters you like or can relate to, it's pretty addicting.... At least to me :DI also agree with you about Robb, I didn't like him in the book/show either.... :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryden Tully Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hey everyone, I've been having a look on this forum for about 2 months and I thought I'd finally sign up to have a go on it. I'm currently rereading the books as I've realized how thin my knowledge is of them. It's interesting seeing/comparing them to the TV series because there such different media's and complement each other very well. I'm a big fan of Tywin Lannister mainly due to him becoming the de-facto kingmaker in the series, something that often happened in History. At heart I'm a big fan of the North/Riverlands alliance, and I know that makes me pretty Vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
