Trying to understand this spoiler thing.<\/p>\n
Some things are spoilers for me, but apparently not knowing who<\/strong> lives or dies in A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> because I read the books anyway even knowing certain characters were going to be dead by the end of book three (and certain not-my-favourite-characters are around in book four). Kind of hard to avoid knowing if you are reading book one and have book three lying around and there’s a list of characters in book three. Besides, I still had no clue what the “Red Wedding” was until I read the book. (“Red wedding”. Not a spoiler people, but a mystery for ya to figure out. :p Consider it a teaser.)<\/p>\n What does spoil things for me is knowing what<\/strong> happened – the exact details – before I read the book, and even then I might just read the book anyway. Frankly the end of the story isn’t always the most important for me but everything leading to the conclusion. A lot of the time, reading for me is just about enjoying how the words come together to form a picture of what’s happening. The same could be said about movies and shows – I simply enjoy how the story is put together. For videos, I enjoy seeing how well the visuals are put together.<\/p>\n Besides, who hasn’t re-read a favourite book or re-watched a favourite movie\/show? Since you’ve already read\/watched it once, you’ve ‘spoiled’ it so why re-read or re-watch? Arguably, there is some enjoyment to be had in experiencing<\/strong> the story over again (I’m assuming you haven’t forgotten everything that happened in the story.)<\/p>\n (And if you watched Game of Thrones<\/em> before reading A Game of Thrones<\/em>, you already spoiled the book for yourself.)<\/p>\n I think I might be delving into A Dance with Dragons<\/em> very soon. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n ~~~C<\/p>\n Trying to understand this spoiler thing.
