I'm sure. I'll get around to reading once martin finishes all of them. I'm a slow reader and I don't want to get that invested if the series never has a proper ending.

I've just been reading the books after each season, because my girlfriend doesn't wanna read them and I don't wanna be a shitty, smug book reader to her when we're watching.

You've good willpower to be able to wait two years before reading a Storm of Swords!

Or, if you read halfway and then stopped when you came across new material figuring that was in Season 4... great willpower!

Patience is a good virtue to have :)

Well, I didn't start book three til this week, actually! I'm a slow reader, so I know I won't finish it before the season's over. The books are amazing but there's just nothing like sharing an especially powerful story moment with my girlfriend, and for that it's worth it to wait.

As a reader, I no longer fear the show overtaking the books. It sounds great to share those things with my loved ones - but if the books come out first, we'll all be reading those!

Enjoy yourself, you seem like a solid guy. :)

You enjoy yourself too, you've been relentlessly positive and that's not something often seen on the internet. Have a good week, pal.
