    This topic has gotten me motivated to read the books and watch the show. Thanks guys! Always good to have something to keep busy with.

    How does this show compare to storylines like the Hunger Games, Insider, Lost Girl, Liar Game, etc??? I like mystery/suspense/thrillers. :)

    All I have to say is: OMG yessssssssssssssssss. I am a huge sci-fi/fantasy nerd. I own comic books. This series has had me hooked since R. R. started it, and when I saw that HBO picked it up, I was fearful. Then, pleasantly surprised. The show gives me something to do while I wait for him to get a move on the next book. Be warned...he is notoriously sloooooooooooooooow.

    I've read the first four books and enjoyed them. I need to read book five, and haven't seen the HBO series. The books are definitely worth it!

    One of my two favorite book series EVER (The other is the Dark Tower by Stephen King). The books are AMAZING!!! Plus you won't have the wait some of us did between the last two books, though who knows how long we'll be waiting for the next one.

    The first book is called "The Game of Thrones" It's officially the Song of Ice and Fire series.

    The books are a little harder to get into because they are so epic but I say it's worth it to plug along through the first one.

    Me too!! I love the Dark Tower series! I started reading it when I was a kid...and I've pre-ordered the next one. Long days and pleasant nights!

    I was surprised to really enjoy it too! and waiting til next spring for season 2 is toooo long...although I gotta say the series is over sexified, its actually quite disgusting when it comes to that ;p otherwise definitely worth watching!

    My current obsession! I have seen the first season at least 20 times (not exaggerating) and I'm currently at the end of A Clash of Kings. I saw someone ask about the DVD release date. I cannot find it anywhere! I'm thinking it'll be out at least by Christmas though. I hope so as it's on my list. The show is fantastic and sticks fairly close to the books in my opinion. Obviously some stuff has to be left out but it's much closer than a lot of other adaptions I've seen. Curiosity prevailing (and to keep this thread going), which house do you claim loyalty to?

    . Curiosity prevailing (and to keep this thread going), which house do you claim loyalty to?

    This is such a hard decision (especially if you've read further into the series!! :D)

    My first thought is Stark, but I also like the Targaryens... Or the Tullys.. but I don't like Lysa.. AH!!

    This is the thing I love most about the books.. every character and every house has depth. No one is all good or all bad. Soooo wonderful. <3<3<3 Makes it hard to choose though!

    Let's just say that I'm for the house I SUSPECT is Jon Snow's actual house. I'll leave it there.

    No problem. I may be a know-it-all, but I try to be a considerate one. :-) My guesses are usually on target, you should have seen my DH when we watched Usual Suspects...he accused me of having seen it before. LOL
