Default A Song of Ice and Fire
Couldn't see a thread on this
I'm reading A Clash of Kings at the moment and enjoying it, who has read/is reading?
Which was your favourite book?

A Storm of Swords is the best but I think I enjoyed A Dance With Dragons just as much. They are all good though, even A Feast for Crows, despite being really slow paced.

Nearly finished with A Clash of Kings now, does season 2 have much stuff from A Storm of Swords?

Is it worth reading if I'm up to date on the show? Ordinarily I hate reading something with the characters pictures already drawn in my head but everyone here watches it all the time so I had to relent and follow it before I had a chance to read the books.

Not massive on fantasy either. Do the books stink of a tarted up EastEnders with swords and tits too, or was that a TV add on?

The TV show is a tarted up EastEnders with tits and swords?

I don't think I will watch it.
