The HBO series, Game of Thrones, tells an epic story with a cast of characters so large it boggles the imagination, but it’s one of the smallest characters that gets his own book with The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister.
Literally looked down on by everyone, and viewed with exceptional scorn by his own family, Tyrion seems to have a lot to be depressed about but the wily Imp, brought to excellent life by Peter Dinklage, is never at a loss for words, and now his sharp-tongued remarks can become part of your verbal arsenal.
Although you don’t live in fictional Westeros and you’re not trying for the Iron Throne, you should be able to find a way to work gems such as “The young ones smell much better, but the old ones know more tricks” and “A sword through the bowels. A sure cure for constipation” into your everyday conversations.
The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister is available in hardcover for $10.56 and for the Kindle for $5.99 at Amazon.com.
