Reading: A Game of Thrones

[robby]

It's the first novel of the series, but fantasy is not my genre. I'm reading it because the HBO series is so popular, and I know next to nothing about the phenomena. I get Westeros mixed up with Juggalos. I'm really clueless about pop music, and I've never watched scores of TV shows that people talk about (like: How I Met Your Mother, and Friends, Dr. Who, ect, ect)

I'll finish this book, but probably won't continue to the other novels. With a fantasy world, I miss the connection to reality. I don't mind historic fiction because, at least, it's grounded in real world events.
