Serious question for those of you that haven't read the books, but are following the tv show:

Is there a specific reason why you haven't read the books?

I love reading, and I have over ninety minutes on a train every day commuting so I have a bit of time to indulge. Added to that, George Martin writes in a style which I find to be pretty easy to read. As a result, when the 3rd season ended last year I bought the books and read them from the start. I'll agree that A Feast for Crows (book 4) and A Dance with Dragons are a bit longer than the others, but they aren't hard to read in the way that Tolkein can be, or Thackeray or Chaucer are.

Does anyone feel differently? I can understand why people might not want to read AHEAD of the tv show, but given the amount of people on here who ask for clarification about a character, or an event or a plot line, I get the impression that many haven't read any of the books - I'm curious why that is.

Cba really. I might when the series finishes. Mind you that could be seven years away.

Why does he do that?? How does that benefit him?

It doesn't really. He's doing it because a good king protects his realm the Nights Watch have taken sworn vows so he can't exactly use them, plus they only have a few hundred men.

Ah okay, look forward to that happening then, how does he hear about the Wildlings?
 
So it's the final episode of Game Of Thrones.

Khaleesi is Queen.

She takes a walk to the harbour and a boat arrives.

A boat filled with elves, a wizard and a couple of hobbits.
