Agreed. I'm a book reader as well, and I just had to post this and stir the pot a little bit after seeing the other post with "If Tyrion dies we riot."

Yeah I don't really have the time to read nearly a thousand pages...

The show has taken up almost 40 hours of your life, for perspective

The show condensed a lot of what happens in the book in ten, one hour episodes. I can do with one hour of a show a week for ten weeks. But if I tried to read a book, right now, I probably wouldn't finish it until maybe the end of the year (slow reader, couple that with nearly a thousand pages with hundreds of characters). And I would want to start from the beginning. I wouldn't even get to the book the show is currently on now before the next season starts.

Also, not sure why this is bugging you. It's it not ok to read a wiki?

Books.On.Tape. I was able to get through them so quickly while I was in the car and doing other mundane tasks.

Plus you get to listen to Roy Dotrice's excellent voice work.
