Nice. Speaking of Game of Thrones...I just cuaght the first two seasons and the season 3 premiere on a free HBO weekend - had to go steal the books. Read any of em?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I read the first long ago - read it again just recently so I can catch up on the second and third, and then I'll watch the second and third seasons of the TV series. I thought the first season was exceptionally well done. More tits than Skinemax though. Jesus.
It might take me some time, however, since I'm also trying to reread the first 6, then finish the next six, of the Wheel of Time series, which is equally, if not more convoluted and far-reaching in scope. Without as many tits.

I read the first Game of Thrones book, and I was surprised at how closely the show followed the book. I never got around to reading the others in the series, though.

So, having read at least one of the books and watched the first season - is this the common "book is better" type deal? I really hope so.

The book is always better. As I already mentioned, however, I was not at all disappointed with what they did with the first season in terms of syncing it with the book. Since I have not read past the first book,, I am unsure whether the second season fared as well when compared to the book.

The books are definately better, but it's fun to see how the show brings it to life... Well, that and to see which bits were deemed "important enough" to be included. The last book has many cliff hangers, so I'm holding out for clues.

I've read the 5 books and can't wait for the next 2...
They split book 3 in two seasons, so this 3rd season will only be the first half....
not saying anything else.
