The books are FAR more satisfying than the series.
If you can relate, think of the difference between reading Tolkien and watching the movies (as great as they were).

I almost always prefer the books. Maybe just because I love to read. Back to the middle of book three!

Do yourself a favor, User. Go slowly and savor them or you'll find yourself in the same situation I'M in.
Finished five, waiting for two not yet written.
FRUSTRATING AS HELL!

I love a good series and I hate waiting for the books that have yet to be published. It's never quite the same (for me), picking up a book 6 months (or more) after I finished the last.
I love to read. I think I started the series less than 2 weeks ago so I'm screwed. I think it will be especially hard with this series because the author leaves so many characters with unfinished business at the end of each book. Unless they die, there's no closure!

That analogy doesn't work for me. I couldn't understand the trilogy in writing, got lost in all his words. The story never made much sense to me until the movies came out.

Really sorry to hear that. One of my favorite read again and again books/series.
Perhaps you might try reading The Hobbit just before the movie comes out?

It was awesome! Best one yet. Tyrion and the Eunuch were just superlative, as was he and the Queen with the Whore.
John Snow's going to lose his virginity soon I hope. I know he had a dry ass fuck already but that doesn't count.
Do you think Khaleesi is going to ignore the warnings about going to the Warlock's den?
and OMG I yelled at the end!!!!
Wait till next week:

Ma, I also thought that the episode was great.
Trying REAL hard not to spoil this for you.
Jon is certainly going to be wiping oil off his dip stick. No big surprise there.
And you KNOW the Khaleesi is going to get those dragons back.

Oh NO!!!!
Only two? It seems like Season 2 just started (he said with the same sinking, brokenhearted feeling he experienced when he realised that he only had 50 pages to go in the most recent book and the last were unpublished).
FUCK!

I love that feisty redhead. She's a total turn on.
and the whole 5 th book is about dragons, so you'd kind of have to figure
But the big fight is next week. Stennis makes ground and all hell breaks loose. My nickel is on Tyrion being the hero and that little shit king getting gutted like the pig he is.
And Jamie is very nearly loose.

Agreed about the wild redhead. With that personality, she would HAVE to be a redhead, wouldn't she? Sweet pain a man can't resist.
And didn't think I was giving anything away about the dragons (wouldn't do that to you).
Trusting that they continue to impress, can't WAIT to see the fight for the city (although one day closer to the end of the season ....).
And you KNOW that little BITCH king is going to die.
BADLY.
Right?

Second last one aired last night.
The good news: the fight for Kings Landing was AWESOME.
Bad news: it wasn't 1/10th of the thrill of the battle as written by Martin.
WHY OH WHY couldn't they have made a movie instead of a series out of it?!?!
