Both. And Falcon - The books follow the show to a T. So you don't need to read them.

 Re: A Song of Ice and Fire (A.k.a: Game of Thrones)
I got the books as a gift but I don't know if I should read them since I've already seen the show. If it follows the show to a T, it'd be pointless to dead them, wouldn't it? Quite the dilemma :?

In all honesty, the shows cuts out and switches around the order of A LOT of what actually happened in the books. If you read the books, things are more linear and characters are more understandable.

i started and loved this series when i was 15 back in 96, so F*CK YOU kitten. Read the books, inner monologue creates a depth that the show fails to do. Show also combines a ton of the characters and cuts out most of the history.

Show is good, but the books are better. They changed a lot of shit in the second season. :/

I can't stand when shit gets edited out. There's not much in these books that isn't some form of foreshadowing, even the few pages describing scenery usually have some meaning later on.

 Re: A Song of Ice and Fire (A.k.a: Game of Thrones)
I don't care what any of you says. EDITED is the best character in the series, and the one person who shouldn't have been killed off. It's such a waste of a character with so much potential.
Now all my hopes are on the black dragon.
