Some time ago I saw here a picture, wherein was counted the pages of all of George R.R. Martin's books, compared to a list of actually good books one could have read in the same amount of time. Along with some closing words by Schopenhauer. Can someone repost this pic?

You're asking for Deep&Edgy (the one who made it) or maybe Brownbear (the only one who keeps this kind of stuff). Good luck!

Possibly true, I think that getting a PhD is more a matter of obsession than intelligence. You can't spend 3-7 years working on a single question without obsession.

surely the fact you need to get a degree (requires intelligence to get a good one) and then you have to be good enough to get sponsored for your PHD (requires intelligence to actually be good enough to get sponsored for your studying) means that a PHD in any field does require intelligence.

It's a fail because martin actually is quite a quick read.

I can easily read 200 pages a day of martin just by cutting corners during my usual day.

I can't read this fast any serious book. Usually I average around 20 - 30 pages an hour depending how dense is the prose.

Hey, genrefags! Stop reading about people knights walking aimlessly around war zones for a year and women riding dragons. That shit's trashy nonsense.
