GRR Martin's Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire)

[Angrist]

I think I'll start rereading the books in a few months. If it goes as fast as the first time, I'll finish them in a few weeks, maybe 2 months.

Then I'll read FfC and DwD simultaneously (if still possible/logical). Then when the series has completed, I'll start watching that.

I've already started re-reading the series in anticipation of ADwD. Unfortunately, I don't have cable so I'll have to catch the show later on (or maybe online if HBO hosts new episodes on their website?).

[Dylflon]

I've read all of the books.

Considered rereading them for the impending release of A Dance with Dragons but that's so much work...will probably have to read a synopsis.

The show looks pretty wicked.

Funny how I never started watching the show... and how I never reread the books.

My current plan is: wait for him to finish his books (if ever), read through all of it, then watch the show.

It's weird though; I knew the books long before the show aired. Now most of my friends are huge fans, while I have paused my fandom. Right now I have to avoid spoilers from them, instead of the other way around.

And I did, it's a great series of books. And apparently it's getting its own series, BBC. You should look into it.
