ASOIAF is okay so far, but I'm only a book in. I'd suggest checking out Dune as it's science fiction worthy of being called literature.

Lemony Snickett may be more on your league.
Better'd try Twilight rape fan-fiction, though.

You stop reading.
It's literally the pinnacle of literature.
You can't possibly read anything better.

literally anything is better than reading the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody; just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

I'm sad because my big bad spoiler that JON SNOW DIES AT THE END is now a non-spoiler.

I wrote it on the whiteboard of a GoT-watching group sign-up thing. I am a devil.

Anyone who has read the books or payed attention while watching the show knew he would get resurrected.

Bitch we're talking season three shenanigans here. People didn't know how he died, only that he did—once I'd told them.
