Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!!
Never bothered watching Game of Thrones.
I loved the first GoT book, but things got so dark so fast I gave up around the 3rd or 4th book. I forget. Somebody get just Jon Snow's story collected and I'll read that. And maybe Sansa's story. (BTW, like the world but hate the characters? There are some really good Hedge Knight stories around that are set ~70 years before Game of Thrones)
Loved the first two or three books of Wheel of Time. Gave up around the seventh book, I think it was.
I read the first two books of Lord of the Rings, but I have never finished Return of the King. The world is amazing, and the alternate languages, but the actual writing and dialogue are lacking and I just sort of gave up.
