Game of Thrones

I put off watching Game of Thrones because I was convinced that I was going to read the books, and I wanted to do that first before I started watching the series.

Then I got about a third of the way through the first book, put it down, and never got back to it.  Now Game of Thrones is a pop culture phenomenon and I had to admit to myself that I was probably not going to get back to the first book, and that even if I did, I was going to have to watch the series before that anyway.

Of course, by watching the show, it’s way more likely that—even knowing the books are always better—I’ll probably never read them.

I used to be such an avid reader and now it’s taking a lot to get me back on the horse.  When you write, you feel like you should always be writing, and so things like reading fall by the wayside.

But I can still squeeze in another hour of television.

Do with that what you will.
