Week 14: Story Laboratory: Writers Write
Is Game of Thrones Worth Your Time?
This article is interesting because it discusses the appropriate length of what a story should be. It seems totally subjective to what the length of a story should be and the author complains that the TV show is worth watching more than reading the book. I am a big fan of both the books and movie. I think both serve their own purpose, but to simply say that the books shouldn't be read because they are too redundant or long seems silly. To subject books to be smaller based off of a fast-paced society gets away from the purpose of reading and what it truly means. At the end of the day, as long as the author can tell a good story and convey their message and have fans that are willing to read it, then it serves its purpose. You're meant to get caught up in reading. Don't expect it to go along with your fast-paced life. Make time for reading.
