Only if you like envisioning dystopia.

After both reading all of the books and watching the show up-to-date, I think I'm done with ASoIaF.
  • Everyone you like gets slaughtered or broken
  • Everyone you don't like gets slaughtered or broken
  • Everyone in Westeros is miserable. Without exception. There isn't one happy person in the entire world.
  • Westeros is as depressing as Oceania in 1984. It's even worse than Ohio.

I'm going to go read Cormac McCarthy's The Road to cheer up now.
