George R.R Martin is a lazy 4rse after his books were adapted to tv series. The last season of that series was bad because the writing went free style (I didn't watch it though) GoT is one of those adaptation where the books are better than series the same with Harry Potter. The books were super fun to read, how he described the world the characters were in and the characters' mind are absolutely marvelous. While the series is practically using s3x as the main selling point.
I started reading comic and manga as preschooler. The moment I reached elementary school, I was reading Hitchcock's Three Investigators and Agatha Christie's Poirot Series (given by Dad who is also a book worm). Maybe because my early introduction of books were far from romance until today I am not into romance book at all. Those Twilight Saga and 50 Shades of Grey never peaked my interest.
My children are book worm too, their first toy was books.
