Game of Thrones I was planning to start this series after I had finished reading The Wheel of Time but I've been stuck on Book 8 of TWoT for so long

ASoIaF <3333. I'm currently reading Storm of Swords, and shit is getting real. FYI you might want to edit the title to say no spoilers, because good lord there is so much shit that goes down in these books. The TV show is great as well. |

Been reading for YEARS. I've read the first three at least five times apiece and read ADWD twice, then re-read the chapters I cared about. I think I'm gonna re-read the series next month in honor of ACOK coming to HBO! ACOK is my favorite. Everyone loves ASOS and I get why, but the King's Landing and Harrenhal aspects of ACOK make me hard. So much amazing. And when you look back, ACOK is when it really ramps it up. Obviously the big two twists at the end of AGOT are when you realize how legit the series is, but things like Cat's little visit to the south in ACOK show you that things are gonna get insane. |

No but I added the warning since I'm only at 25% of book 2. And so far everything I've read is fabulous and jaw dropping overall in terms of how things play out. |

I moved this back because it is legit but it could have gone under Books most likely. |

Do you recommend reading the books before watching the show or after? |

It doesn't matter. I watched the show first, but ts2 read first. And we both enjoy it. I would say read first since it explains things better and makes the show more enjoyable to watch. A lot of people who tried watching first couldn't get into it. |

I've got like 200 pages left in A Dance With Dragons and then I'll have to find a new series to read. I don't want it to end! It's going to be the longest wait ever for the 6th book |

I would say read them first. I watched the show first, and I obviously still got into it, but only because my boyfriend kept pushing me to to keep going. It was pretty hard to follow, but then around episode four or so ("I call upon you to SEIZE HIM" :wub:) I began to really like it it. I also may or may not be thinking about creating a GoT/CoK themed ORG this summer.

Read them! I read reviews that said it was a little hard to follow. NO! Not if you have 1/2 a brain. Seriously, it is not hard to follow. The chapters are broken down into character point of view so you always know who is speaking and where they are coming from. It's really fantastic. I've had a hard time putting it down at all. |

It's hard to follow for the first 100 pages or so, just because it's confusing as to the relationships of all the characters and like a hundred names are thrown at you. But if you stick with it it's easy enough for anyone with a shred of intelligence. |

There are also chapter summaries on aWoIaF, which are super helpful for new readers. If you do read those though, do NOT click on any of the links to anything else unless you want to be front loaded with major spoilers. |

When does the second season of the show start? I feel compelled to start reading the second book (even though I've not read the first) when I'm out of town in a few weeks, but if there's more time than I thought, I guess I can start at the beginning. |

If you have as little time as I have, then it takes a while longer. I started the series back in October or so and I'm in the middle of book 3. |

I'm with you, unduli. ACOK is my favorite as well. ASOS is action-packed, but ACOK has all the intrigue and plotting that sets it all up. I think the Harenhal chapters of ACOK are my favorite chapters of the entire series. I don't think it matters if you watch the series or read first since the HBO series is a drop in the bucket of everything anyway. Just stay away from spoilers while reading. Don't read anything about it!! |

I've got about 40 something pages left in ADWD. The author better not take 5 years to come out with the next book. |
