I'm almost regretting having read them because now I don't know what the hell in supposed to do with myself until the next book comes out. It could be years before I find out what happens next. Or it could never happen...I've heard the author is old and is working on other books right now.And then... some of us have read them a while back ago.... all this waiting is making me forget the books...

I kind of don't want to because I highly doubt the tv series can give me as good of an ending as the books will. I also heard that the show isn't the same as the books. But then...I feel like I'll go insane if I don't find out what happens. Are you other book readers going as crazy as I am?
Season 1 is pretty faithful to the books.
Season 2 starts deviating somewhat....
Season 3 comes back a bit.
Seasons 4 and 5 follow books 4 and 5, but in proper chronological order, instead of character order like in the books - damn, book 4 was the worst! At times, it felt like nothing was happening... Cersei this, Cersei that.... bah! I wanted Tyrion!!! wait for book 5!
Season 6 went beyond most of the book content, except for a few storylines.
Season 7 is totally beyond the books.
Like SC said, some characters have been condensed, some storylines have been changed a bit... some characters that seem unknown in the books, we immediately recognize in the show (wink, wink, Reek).
It's nice to see them side by side.... but may lead to confusion in your mind!
