I haven't read GoT (actually, Rhia and I often remark on it being one, among many, cultural touchstones that we fully missed out on) - your description makes me want to give it a chance though!

Have you written about your dislike (?) of A Little Life somewhere? I adore that book, and it is among the longest books I have read multiple times. There is so much love interlaced within the hardships in that story.

I haven't written about A Little Life bc I never finished it, so I don't feel like I can give it a fair shake. I know many people/critics love it, but I grew frustrated at how the characters suffered/how their suffering was described, which is admittedly hilarious to say in a post about GoT!! But I felt like A Little Life was suffering for suffering's sake?

Agh… I’m forced to face the fact that, eventually, I’ll have to read Game of Thrones
