Read the books Jim!
Steelers in '23
Aren't they like thousands of pages?
Never was a reader. I recall reading one lengthy book in my life, and anything else I completed was smaller. I could read 40 newspapers and stay on the 'net reading for days though! That book I read was "Fighting Back", by Rocky Bleier of the Steelers. Played for them, had part of his foot blown off and 'fought back' to play again.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

They are all around a thousand pages. Just start the first one as something to do when you can't sleep at night. It won't take long before your hooked. Then you can say, I see why they did that in the show, or hey that wasn't in the show, why did they leave that out?Aren't they like thousands of pages?

I think most the leave outs have been based around try to fit a season into 10 hours of show.

Remember, I have no patience. I'll get to like page 50 and then want the rest of the story in my little brain right then and there. Thousand pages and multiple books? LOL Not for me. What about an audio version? I might be able to handle that, I'll have to peek around...

Yeah there are audio versions out there. You could at least listen while you do other things.

Audio books for A Song of Fire and Ice? Way too expensive!

They need to make a budget version for us poor folks. Sure, it would be narrated by Fran Drescher but would probably save us a couple of Benjamins!

There are other ways to acquire them, but would take a really large hard drive.

If Jim doesn't have the patience to read a book, he sure as hell doesn't have the patience required to steal the material. It's too much work!
This is what being a Steelers fan does to you.
Thankfully I'm an exception to that rule.
Luv ya Jim!

Too much work? I "think" it's mysteriously finding its way to me as I post this message. Anyone reading between the lines, and has an interest in the audio book, shoot me a PM and I can discuss how to get at a better price than Thunder has posted.If Jim doesn't have the patience to read a book, he sure as hell doesn't have the patience required to steal the material.
