I read the books. but I'm kinda regretting it, and totally get why people would prefer to just watch the show. the books are just too fucking bloated, which is why I generally don't like reading fantasy. but they have great world building, so they make for great adaption material.

And your last sentence precisely exemplifies why people don't like ASoIaF bookfans: they think they're oh so superior because they *read*. okay, they read fantasy books, but they READ! That's so intellectual! I bet YOU PEOPLE who watch the show NEVER read! Is it so hard to read books? Cause for me it isn't!
See, some people take enjoyment from different things. Me, I like reading concise and/or more complicated stuff, like the classics, and plays, and short stories, and essays, and monographs about literature. I write, too. I just don't much like wasting my time with padded-to-death books about magical other worlds. I made an exception for GoT (As I did for LoTR), because the show got me interested, but I cringed a lot.
