/lit/ - Literature

I have that problem often..but I just force myself to bear through the boring moment. Most of the time I'm not disappointed.

D&E... still being a sandy little twat.

Here's what's up with AGOT (and the series, in general):

a) These books all made the NY Times Best Sellers list.
b) GRRM has been referred to as the "American Tolkien".
c) He made Time Magazine's 2011 list of 100 Most Influential People
d) These books were picked up by HBO to be made into a series
e) Series picked up for a second season after the first episode
f) AGOT is averaging 4.4/5 stars on Amazon, based on over 2,000 customer reviews.
g) While the quality of the books has admittedly declined in the past two novels, this has inspired NUMEROUS websites and forums to crop up bitching and moaning about GRRM's dedication to the series... if the series sucked balls, why would so many people waste so much time creating forums and websites to whine, investigate, and discuss the direction of the series?

So, to answer the OP: "is it worth reading?"

Gee, what do you think??
