Not a great reader, mainly due to lack of time.
Is stuff like Audible a good way to crack it out? Presume its not free...
It takes ages, each book is hours and hours long, Dance is 49 hours long. But the reader of GoT is really good.
Did not ever crackafat tho, show is better for that than some bloke reading pr0ntastic chapters

You join audible for around $12 - $16 per month but that entitles you to 1 free book per month. Plus deals on others. I just joined long enough to grab each book per month. When you quit they try to lure you back with a sharper deal. You do that so you can grab another book.. it’s quite ingenious really.

That seems expensive for one book.
The books are rrp for around $40 each...
Many others average $20 - $30 each -

@Virgil yeah, i still prefer to read a book, and they have got obscenely expensive, even for a paperback.
I have all the ASOIAF in hardback, picked them up one at a time via Amazon a few years ago. Wasn’t cheap! But they are much more impressive in Hardback rather then paper back. Fire and Blood I grabbed via Mighty Ape on sale not long ago, think it’s was only $15.
Still a couple other books to get which I’ll also grab in audible too.George has made plenty of $$$ me that’s for sure

@JK I'm not sure if they do an abridged version of his books, but they do for some other books...
Actually, listening to the No Such Thing As a Fish podcast, they talk about some audible book site where they basically condense heaps of books into 15 min summaries...not sure you want to go that far haha...I'll have to find the name.

i saw the ads for that, it infuriated me!! As if the world isn't dumb enough, lets condense books down to a 15 minute thing you can listen to!
seriously, we have access to more information than at any time in human history, and yet people was to actually read less.

So you pay that to join and then have to pay $20-$40 per book?Sheesh, I'm glad I read and don't listen to audiobooks.

Sort of, you do get 1 free book per month and I believe the other books are discounted.

I wonder if he would have hated Rise of Skywalker? We might have been in agreeance on Star Wars for once.
On GoT, I actually feel no urge to rewatch it (maybe just to fast forward to all the good nudity
) like I do with the shows I rate really well. I don't know if that's a time thing though, it ended fairly recently, or just a fantasy thing ... although the early seasons were less fantasy and more politics so they could be rewatchable. -
I'm currently reading the books. Got em on Kindle so it has merged all 5 books into one which physiologically makes it a tough as you don't feel like you are making much progress. Have got 69% of the way through.
They are freaking awesome though.

Might need to start a new thread but thought I would resurrect this one for fun.
So. Whaddya think of this prequel stuff?
Decent baddie, titties, plenty of violence, dragons......
Boxes all ticked. Sit baack and see if they can stuff it up I guess.Good enough, the initial few minutes were awful.
Smash the patriarchy voice over
Girl flying dragon, but nothing wow (although some good views of KL)
Silly banter, with K Guard, not realistic gritty like start of GoT
Then pregnancy is the real battle, real heroes bit (Producer said in interview 50% survival rate for childbirthing mothers in mediaeval era FFS what a moron, humans would've died out!)
Then King is all OK with his daughter turning up late, more bantery shit.But after that it improved, so if you can put aside the core message of smashing the patriachy and how Valyrians (like elves) are now black, it should be good. Especially as Corlys is an excellent actor! I'm already rooting for Daemon as Hightower is a complete fluffybunny. Rhaenyra is a spoiled brat. Daemon has some personality, even if he's a nutjob
EDIT: Might as well leave it in this thread, I mean the Star Wars one is from Ep 7!
