Game Of Thrones: 5 Reasons You Should Read The Books Ahead Of Season 4
-->
3. As A Personal Challenge
--> This applies especially to those of you who may be interested in reading the books but feel intimidated by the sheer amount of content youd have to get through. That's an understandable concern. At an average length of 800 pages, these books are tomes, to say the least.
I may have a simple solution. For the next 9 months, focus on reading just the first 3 books. At the rate of 1 book every 3 months, youll be all set for season 3 come next year! Approaching the story in such manageable chunks is a pleasurable experience that you may share with your friends. Read together, collectively set deadlines for completion and stick by them. Enjoy yourselves while your at it. Find creative ways to make it more fun so that it doesn't seem like homework. Share your thoughts with one another. You may also watch the show on DVD as you read for comparative purposes.
