Game of Thrones: Where Thinking Hurts
So, there's this show called "Game of Thrones", based on some thick books about knights with questionable morals and ladies with too much time for fancy hairdos. Anyway, some egghead decided this whole mess was, like, super deep and wrote a whole book on the "philosophy" of it.
Murdery Kings and Family Drama – the Good Stuff: Basically, this book asks questions like, "Is it okay to murder your family if they're in the way of your throne?" and "How gross is it REALLY to sleep with your sibling?" Whoa, spoiler alert!
Dragons, Ice Zombies, and...Aristotle?: They talk about dragons and magical ice monsters right alongside dudes like Plato and... some guy named Nietzsche? Who knew a show with sword fights could make your brain work so hard?
