You're not supposed to, it's incist for God's sake.



While I like ASOIAF, I never said it did. However, your criticism of ASOIAF doesn't stand up very well, while some of the criticism leveled at Twilight does.

If you had read any further then the second chapter then while I would still disagree with you, I would still respect your opinion. As it stands I fail to see how you have a right to insult an entire franchise based on one scene in one of the books that you didn't like.

What am I supposed to see below?


Also, Papillon.

Forums be [censored], brah.

Anyway, here's some Ayn Rand hate:

Reminds me of the "6 Things Rich People Need to Stop Saying" article on Cracked.

incist is a reasonable thing to be repulsed by. six is one thing, six with your sibling is just

Yea incist is a no no. I think GRRM did a good job describing it though. But I don't like it when people think violence is acceptable and six isn't. It's a double standard.

Geez, a dude can't hold an opinion without being accused of being a prude? You guys are acting like wolves toward Ratslayer. I don't know where he's coming from, but some people believe in the privacy of six. One can use it as a plot tool without needlessly wallowing in it.

That's why Bran is pushed from the tower. They were having incistual six in private and they were caught. It's a book and it was being described.

I don't think anyone is faulting you for that. I think it's probably 1.) that you're making a lot of generalizations about a book you've barely started reading...much less the rest of the series and 2.) you're going about it in a way that implies that anyone that likes the book is somehow intellectually inferior or "less well-read" than you are. We understand that you didn't like what you read (which, again, seems to be very little) and that's fine. It's the unfounded generalizations and the condescending smell of it all that I think people are bristling at.

I'm a fairly bright guy and have done quite a bit of reading. Perhaps your opinion is wrong.

This is an opinion thread... Hm.. Idk. Every book I've read I got into and liked.

Only books I can say that I hate are most text books from school... But I don't think they would count.. If they count then Math Books for sure.

I haven't really read a book I didn't like.

Great, fine. I don't really care whether or not the scene is necessary or not. You're over-reacting to his opinion, though.

I challenge anyone that says twilight or atlas shrugged is the worst book ever to read a book by l. Ron Hubbard.
I tried to read one of his books that is said to the longest science fiction book ever. I cant remember what it was called but the entire thing was about how psychologists are evil and that homosixuality is a government plot to stop people from having children.
I made it about 80% of the way through when I just could not take it any more, I tore the book in half and threw it in the rubbish.

What I can't believe is that there's http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/03/is-fan-fiction-ready-to-go-mainstream-thanks-to-fifty-shades-of-grey of it that's popular, too.

Dear sweet world.

I will never forgive Nathaniel Hawthorne for The Scarlet Letter. I'm sure I was one of about 5 in the class that bothered to read it.

Also Atlas Shrugged: 100 pages of plot, 1000 pages of superfluous descriptive imagery. Like Hawthorne, she sat down and said "I am going to write an EPIC BOOK!"


So you're saying you simultaneously agree with communism and laissez faire?

Really? Everyone seems to be hating Atlas Shrugged.

Listen friend, the books are very-well written and just because you were shocked by a particular scene doesn't make them bad. Also your arguments other than the "BUT GUYS!!!! THE QUEEN [censored] HER BROTHER!!!!" are invalid because you don't know the story.

Yes, I found it to be an awful book written by a hate-filled woman. Kinda like Twilight.

The scene between the queen and her brother in A Game of Thrones is supposed to make you sick. I mean I see your point about not liking it, but what would we be reading if everything was censored like that? It's a valid opinion, but myself and many others really love how realistic GRRM has written his stories. The real world is full of six, violence, and grit. I can believe in Westeros because of the power of GRRM's imagination and his skill as a writer. I'd much rather read GRRM than any author who is afraid or too frigid (in my opinion) to write things realistically. I'm currently reading Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora and a part in the story just about broke my heart, in part because of how gods damned real it felt as I read it.

As for the worst book I've ever read? Twilight....before the hype. I thought it would be a horror story of a lonely teenage girl entranced by a vampire and then murdered...my idea was much more interesting, but there's enough of the Meyer bashing going around. So my vote goes to Stephen King's Cell. Loved the beginning and even some of the middle, but after a certain point it just gets old. Really Stephen, did you have to go there once again?

Some six scenes for ASoIaF are overdone, but definitely not the incist in GoT. I found Dani's first night with Drogo was a bit overdone, so is Harrenhal [censored] scene in CoK.

Mryish swamp.

I don't know what that is yet. I'll know in after 1 more book lol. Well I know that it's sixual but I'm dying to read the chapter that contains "Myrish swamp".

I am a wolf, I'm a Stark.

Your not getting this at all.

You must have missed the part where I said I didnt enjoy any of it.

*ignoring I say how badly it was executed, again*

If you like it, thats fine. But this is "the worst book you've ever read", I dont like GoT. Its horrible imo, its my answer to this thread, as simple as that.

1) No I find them to be quite the opposite.
2) Ignoring the fact I found it all dull, and had to force myself to read through it. Yes it was just that scene I had issues with *rolls eyes*
3) So my oppinion about it reading like a fanfic is wrong because I dont know the whole story. Right, I forgot how that made the writng any less cringe worthy.

You know what, all this is doing is making my view of this like twilight even stronger. You also have the cult like group, who seem hostile when you dont like their damn book.

You know what, [censored] it. Im done with this thread. Accept I dont like your damn book, accept I think its [censored], and move the [censored] on.
The world is full of people with different oppinions, some of you seem like that is a real challenge for you. If you act anything irl like you do here.
