Yeah, the TV series has put me off reading them too. I'd rather just experience the one version of the story. I've been waiting for it to catch up to where I remember in the books.
Having said that, I have bought the latest book and will probably buy the rest, I'm just not sure if I'll get round to reading them until the series is finished. Which given the overall slowness so far, could be another 10-15 years! That's why even though I highly enjoy a good epic, I really can't stand reading them anymore. It's a love/hate thing now.
- itsybitsycoder 11y agoI haven't read the books but it's my understanding that the show has caught up with the books & that you may be confused if you try to jump straight from the middle of the books to the middle of the show, since they've changed many of the characters' storylines.

It likely will have caught up to or passed the books by the end of this season (assuming that, given the divergence in storylines, the comparison is even meaningful anymore; but there are some signs that at least some of the divergence is just keeping the number of independent threads down and may converge back somewhat), but all of the existing storylines in the show that can reasonably be compared to the book remain behind the parallel storylines in the book.
