I've never read the books so my body is ready for what's about to happen 
I'll probably marathon season 1 & 2 again like I did a few months ago before 3 begins.

Ser Jorah was also on Downton Abbey. I hope we'll be seeing a lot of Rose Leslie in season 3
.I don't think I'll have HBO anymore when the season starts
. I'll have to find a way to watch the episodes. I'm fiending way more for a new book though. GRRM probably won't be done with the next one until 2015. He also writes novellas about characters from the past but they're spread out in different works.

i read em and they're not as great as the books obviously but they do give you a better understanding of the history behind the SOIAF novels. Its also pretty cool to read about the time period when the Targaryans were on top. Oh, and you can get the books on da internetz.

Got me hyped.
I wouldn't. I'm in the same position. I'd rather just wait, because it's really hard to resist the urge to compare the show to the books, and I'd rather just appreciate the show now, because I know it's not gonna take away from the book nearly as much as the book would take away from the show.
And waiting is easy once the show isn't on and hype dies down.
I couldn't resist... I'm now about halfway thru asos... I kinda regret it because I'm pretty sure I know everything that will happen in season 3 now.
I won't let a little regret stop me now tho... think I'll just read all of them now.

I didn't have the willpower to start any of the books and just stop. The first 3 books were like crack to me. I'm not a big reader but I would go through one of the books in under a week.

Under a week?! Christ.
I started reading the books from A Clash Of Kings after I watched the first season. This was summer '11. I just started A Dance with Dragons a week ago.

lol the first book took me the longest since I had already watched the show. it was sort of boring to go back over it with the show being so fresh. books 2-4 took me about. 6 months. with working and daily life. but when I read it was an intense session.
audio book on the ipod helped me get through them also. he read slow but with so much emphasis on perfecting tones of the character

I'd recommend a 7 inch tablet or a Kindle. Trust me you'd appreciate it. Been reading books more and comics on my Nexus 7.

Anyone have the same problem with ADWD that I have? So much is going on that I only read a chapter every few days. Feels like my head will explode... Great book tho

Yeah, but you get used to keeping track of everything since you're already on book 5. These books have been good memory exercise but so much has gone on that I forget stuff.
My main problem with ADWD was the first 2/3 of the book just dragged on (pun intended). I didn't enjoy reading it as much as the other books :\.

I need the actual book in my hand. Just isn't the same reading on a tablet or phone.
