I, like an idiot, attempted to start with Storm of Swords. I made it through, but found myself having to google characters and threads not addressed in the tv show. I ultimately read them all, but at the sacrifice of some earned dramatic payoff.

I would recommend anyone thinking of reading the books to start with book 1. Even if some things will be redundant, it's still ultimately worth it what with all the exposition and character building.

If you have time on your hands, you could easily read all 5 in a month or so.

Second this. Read from the beginning, it's worth it.

But I think that will be season 4. Season 3 is the first half of A Storm of Swords. This event happened about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way through.

Also, to anyone that read the book, I kind of want to skip season 3 and go right to 4...only scene I really want to see is the one with The Mother of Dragons. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, don't want to spoil for non-readers.

About a month ago I decided to start reading the books. I'm now halfway through ASOS and it's definitely taking a toll on my school work lol, but it's so good.

He said temporary! Once Winds of Winter comes out he will most likely go back to god status.

Ya man the books are awesome. I fucking rage every time I get to a chapter narrated by Catelyn though, the whole fucking time it's always "boo I'm sad, Ned is dead, my daughters are gone, Robb is mad at me, Edmure is mad at me, my father's dead, I'm so depressed, boo hooo." Like ok we get it, give it a rest will you

what i don't get is how everyone who read the books complains all season long that the show changed stuff, then before the next season starts, they act as though reading the book has given them mystical future-seeing powers.

2x the opportunity to act superior.

Or maybe when watching it all they focus on is what's different, and then once they look back on the season they realize it was done far better than they gave them credit.

Really? The majority of my friends who watch and have read seem to love the series. They really didn't change much the first season, 2nd season was changed a bit but shit just gets too complicated for a 10hr season.

The point I was trying to get across was that most of the people I know who watch and read don't complain about it being that different, but whatever.
