Books Similar to Breaking Bad, Scandal, and Other Popular TV Shows discussion

So, this is the section where you can check for any answers to some common questions that may come up from time to time.

Question: When in the rules, you point out shows based on books like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, are we not supposed to talk about them at all?

Answer: No, not necessarily. What it means is that since these shows are already based on books, you cannot use the books they are based on to compare them with. You can, however, compare a different book to the show. For instance, comparing the BOOK (not movie) World War Z to The Walking Dead is fine. But don't compare the Walking Dead to the Walking Dead.

Question: Can we compare reality shows with books?

Answer: Surprisingly, yes. But again, the reality show must be very well known and highly watched. For instance comparing the book Good Christian B**** with any of the Real Housewives shows is fine. However, don't get carried away and compare two things that have nothing to do with each other or are on completely different plains of existence. In other words, comparing the Kardashians to something like Shakespeare is a hard sell.

Question: Are there or will there ever be spoilers about the shows.
Answer: Probably, yes. Since it is highly encouraged that members talk about the shows as well as the books, spoilers will be unavoidable in most cases. It is assumed that you would only look for a book similar to a show only after you have viewed said show.
