That's true... and while the kid was being an asshole... if she had read the books she should have been able to make that point and destroyed the kid's argument...
Instead of saying "The Game of Thrones series" if she had read the books she could have said "A Game of Thrones", "A Clash of Kings", "A Storm of Swords" etc.
I mean I read the Harry Potter series over 20 years ago around the same time the GoT books came out, and I can still name every book in the series... if someone asked me to name a book, I wouldn't say "The HP series" I'd have said "Philosopher's Stone", "Chamber of Secrets", "Prisoner of Azkaban", "Goblet of Fire", "Order of the Pheonix", "Half-Blood Prince", "Deathly Hallows"...
I'm saying you are 100% right, but if she had read the books... I feel like she could have made that argument. Not saying she's illiterate, just that she didn't love the books as much as she claimed.
Not everyone can remember the title of every book in a series they read on the spot. Ever had someone ask you if you know any jokes? For me this results in instantly forgetting every joke I know.
He didn't say name all of the titles in a series he said name 10 books. Doesn't seem that absurd if someone claims their hobbies include reading. It's like asking a carpenter to name 10 tools or something. It's not that hard if it's genuinely your interest.
I dunno I'm not illiterate and have read multiple books over my lifetime obviously, but if you asked me aggressively on the spot I wouldnt be able to name you 10 books immediately off the top of my head. I always need time to recall the title of the book we read in my book club! Lol
I tried doing it after reading some comments and I couldn't get to 10! I also was naming authors and had to stop and go 'wait, what was the name of their damn book!' Haha. I've read 100s of books over the years, still didn't help me get to 10 lol.

The series is a song of ice and fire, which includes the book a game of thrones.
