You don't want to read those books because GRRM is never going to finish the series.
The first two, fabulous, three, good. Four...just an utter waste of time. I will not speak of five, since I didnt bother. There is a lot going on in those books that a good screenwriter could have a field day with, but Railroad lost the plot awhile ago when world building took over. The only truly fleshed out characters in the books are Tyrion and Arya, the rest are stock puppets at this point.
Television wise, there's about three more series' worth of solid material.
I am halfway through book 5. GRRM writes about food, and ...food...and uhhh...more fucking food. With a little plot in between.
He hasZERO motivation to finish the last 2 books. HBO made sure of that when they started paying him. It took him 10 years to finish writing and editing book 5.
Now he's a fat rich bastard with residuals and we will never see the end of the story. I think he should relinquish his copy rights to the rest and let the fans wrote it...at least the last 2 books wouldn;t be about food.
again...*harumph*
