Well as someone who is a normie, I am a 25 year woman who has a programming job and a boyfriend, I just started getting into reading. I thought it was a better hobby than drinking all night while playing video games or trying to code while high on acid, but to each their own.

Anyways being that I am new to this whole reading novels stuff, I have not read a novel cover to cover since I took my last English class in university five years ago, i decided to pick up the box set of ASOIF and get a library card. I figured I should start with something I liked and I do love the TV show. I picked up the box set on Friday after work at barns and noble and I could tell the guy working behind the counter thought I was a pleb.

Anyways I gotten about 1/4th through the first book kind of going slowly and I must say I like it. I honestly kind of forgot the first few seasons so reading the books again are showing me a lot of twist i had forgotten about or were wholly not in the show. The characters seem more alive and the world is filled with much more detail. While the show does a good job of capturing the objects in the world I seem to fill more in the world when I read the book. Like when I read about how imp and jon are walking on the wall and it is described how cold it really is and how empty it is in the gift or what is going through their heads.

TL:DR I am a showfag who started reading the books and I like it more than the show.

Any recommendations on when I am done?
