Game of Thrones

Sometimes it seems like GRRM has really painted himself into a corner and has to stretch things out to figure out how to wrap the story up cleanly. I'm not convinced he knows how it's all going to end yet.

According to interviews, he says he does. But I don't believe a word of it. I think he might have one or two specific things he wants to happen, but after that I do not think he has a clear picture. Book 4 and 5 is evidence of that. By the end of 5, I felt he started to get back on track, but there is a long way to go without compromising the integrity of the series IMHO.

But who knows, he may surprise us. It was a fun read regardless unlike the last few books of the Wheel of Time.

I feel like A Dance with Dragons was necessary for the events of The Winds of Winter to make sense. Although it wasn't like the first three books as far as plotline, I enjoyed reading A Dance with Dragons because it has given me so much to speculate with my friends for the past two years while waiting for The Winds of Winter.

Of course, George Lucas always said he wrote out all 9 Star Wars movie stories. Yeah, right.

We are currently waiting the start of season four, which should be some time in march. You have plenty of time to get caught up on the show and start reading the books if you like.

I highly recommend reading the books, it fills in where the show cannot.

I am not so much into reading

, so you can tell few things which are missing in series which might tempt me to read those books

I don't know where you're at in the show to be able to tell you what was in the books and not in the show.

I haven't seen any Mammoths (yet) in the TV series. On the other hand the books are absent of the man-on-man sex/attempted rape scenes. (This may be a disappointment to some)

The best example I can think of is the whole Daenerys/Qarth story arch had a lot more going on in the book. Too bad they didn't have Emilia Clarke wear the traditional Qarthen dress they described in the book
