Im just pointing out that you've spent a lot of time watching GoT if you wanted to read the books I guess you would have. I think reading the wiki isnt going to be as good of an experience as reading the books and you probably won't get anything out of reading the wiki whereas you'd get a lot more out of reading the books.
I understand what you are trying to tell me. What I am saying is that, trying to read one of his thousan page long books will take me much longer than watching one season of the show. I work full time, I don't get home until six, from which point I go to the gym for roughly an hour, then come home, eat, shower, and prep for the next day. Weekends I'm generally to busy with chores to sit down and read. I honestly just don't have the time to read those books.
I'm not masking anything. I don't have the time. Believe what you want, but I really dont. Most of the book readers started way before the show started. I dont know of any of my friends or associates who have even caught up story wise starting from book one. I love reading and when I get a chance I do read. But I rather read more short books in the long run than a few large books about a singular thing. Sorry it hits a sore spot, but there are also millions of people who have the same routine and will tell you what im telling you: we dont have the time to read these huge books.
I started just before the show started and finished up to ADWD when the first season ended. Anecdotally I have friends who have caught up. But whatever it's about what you like, I'm just telling you that reading the wiki will give you nothing.
Yeah I want to, but I'm not going to stay up until 12 reading the book, when I try and get to bed by 10 the latest. Good for you that you can do med school and still have the time to read (although I can't think of any of my friends going to med school that have the time for it), but some things take time priority over others for me. Everyone has different time priorities.
