It absolutely has. On one hand, it's strange/disconcerting to watch some of these storylines unfold because they're just completely not in line with the books at all. On the other hand, it's cool to watch because now I have two stories going with these characters I've become addicted to. Adds more variety, if you will. But you have to work at separating how you feel about the books and how you feel about the show. So far I've done ok in that regard.
I know your time is condensed and the books are encyclopedian in size, but if you ever find a way to either read these books or listen via Audible/CD, do it. Fantastic storytelling that just absolutely sucks you in.
