As many of my posts tell, there are several obsessions that I have...anime, Korean food (really anything Asian related), RPGs, and most recently "Game of Thrones". I posted a few posts back about reading and how it was pretty awesome but now I am half way through the second and caught up on the show and I have to say it is amazing. Of course the whole production of it is good as HBO backs it, but George RR Martin has a fantastic habit when it comes to his characters. The first being if you love a character, expect them to die. Second being if you liked them in the first book/season, be prepared to hate them in the second and following. I have found this to be true for the majority of characters that you are introduced to. There are several characters that you will always love and always hate but everyone else switches up their alignment eventually. And the great thing about it is that you don't even mind when you end up loving a character you hated in the first season. Everything is so seamlessly written that it doesn't seem forced or anything. So all in all it's great for reading, granted it isn't going to be a quick read, but definitely worth it.
Ps. "Cabin in the Woods" was awesome as was "Avengers". I fully plan on watching the latter several more times.
