So after months of reminding her of the title and author, my mom actually read A Game of Thrones. To my surprise, she liked it a lot. But this killed me. We were talking on the phone last night:
Happily, she liked Tyrion a lot. Irritatingly, she identified with Ned Stark. (But then, my mom's never met a martyr she didn't see herself in.)
Me: So what did you think of Daenerys?
Mom: Well, once those dinosaur eggs were mentioned, I thought they were probably going to hatch.
Me: ::splutters::
Mom: What??
Me: You don't read a lot of fantasy, do you?
