I stopped reading this thread ages ago because despite spoilers too much of the plot was leaking out. I very nearly bought the Books last week and now I am glad I didn't.
Last nights episode was the best in all three series as far as I am concerned.
I've tried my hardest to steer people away from the books. The books are awesome its just if you don't read them and just watch the tv show first you'll enjoy imo probably some of the best tv ever made.
When game of thrones the tv show is done go for your life read the books. As there is some brilliant backstory missing from the tv show. Just be prepared to be happy, sad, angry, horney and hungry as fuck (the constant descriptions of the food doesn't half make you hungry) all in the space of a chapter or two.
