Well...I grabbed a set of most of the books and read through the first one recently. Then I get a text a few days before Xmas from my older son asking if I ever watched the show. I told him no, I was waiting to read the books, because the books are always better. You just can't fit as much stuff into a visual medium. And you won't get the same kind of internal dialogues or narration. Also, it will never look the same because the camera's point of view isn't going to match what your imaginary one was while you read the thing (dreaming up scenes that can't possibly be recreated by someone who doesn't live in your head). So he brings over DVD set of the first season for me as a gift. I watched it. Then I binge watched every episode available over the next few days. Which isn't bad really. Now I have something to read while waiting for the next season and I'm glad that the show doesn't match the books.
