Book dads don't have it easy. After all, it's never just about raising kids, there are always criminals to apprehend, apocalypses to avoid, and unforeseen events to plan for! So this Father's Day, let's remember to appreciate the dads who did it all from the page. And of course my favourite is Ned Stark from Game of thrones, glad i stopped reading after he died though.
