After recently finishing Season 3 of HBO's Game of Thrones TV series, I need more, but I am not sure where to even begin.
I am seeking to begin reading the novels, but I can't decide whether to read from the very beginning or pick off where Season 3 of the TV series ended.
The purpose of this thread is for me to ask a few simple questions.
1. How well do the first 3 seasons of the TV series capture the story compared to that of the books?
2. Which book does end of Season 3 correlate with?
3. Would you recommend me to read from the start or try to pick up from where the TV series ended?
