I have been surprised there hasn't been a thread about this yet. I've been enjoying the hell out of it! Is the storyline of the books the same as what has been happening on the show?

Pretty close I would watch the whole season before reading the first book to make sure you do not get confused. Also do not form any personal attachment to ANY character in this series. Nobody is all the way good, nobody is all the way bad, and a lot of folks get killed off over the series.
I can not wait until July for Dance with Dragons, I am going to try and save it to read on my way to AllGood.
Show is awesome. I walked into my apartment the night of the first episode (I had a date earlier, which went down in bigger ball of flames than the Hindenberg, so I wasn't in the best of moods) to two 25 year old men sword fighting with a bat and lacrosse stick (completely smashed) screaming about the show. The exact quote I walked in on was "EDDARD.....MORE LIKE DEAD-ARD!!!" before Idiot 1 hit Idiot 2 in the nether regions with his lacrosse stick. I'm not a big TV guy, but I decided if the show was good enough to cause my idiot roommates to drunk swordfight in their boxers, it was worth investing an hour.

Haha it's funny that every, single person I talk to whose read the books says the same things. 1. Don't get too attached to anyone. 2. Remember that nobody in the story is all evil or all good. Although it's pretty hard for me to accept that Cersei is not an all-time evil biznatch.
I bought the book right before Bonnaroo, but I'm intentionally going slowly because I didn't want to catch up to where I am in the show. After next Sunday though, I'll likely devour it immediately, then move through the rest of the series way too fast, and then be very impatient for the next book/season.

Oh, 2 funny GoT stories from Bonnaroo:
While in line for Centeroo on Friday, I heard two people talking, and I listened in and heard one say, "He's NOT a Baratheon, he's a quacking Lannister, idiot." So I turned and shouted, "Winter is Coming!" which drew scattered cheers and shouts of "Winter is Coming!" from throughout the crowd.
Then, on Saturday, while standing near the Handicap Entrance to the bleachers, a midget walked up, weaving through the crowd, and I had a distinct urge to shout "MAKE WAY FOR TYRION LANNISTER!" But I thought better of it.
It's nice to see that Sean Bean lives up to his Stark character.
Sean Bean 'stabbed' in the arm following a row over glamour model April Summers
However, extraordinarily, he declined to attend hospital. Instead, the star walked back into the bar and, after staff gave him aid from a first aid kit, ordered another drink.

Full details even more badass:
Sean Bean, who is 52, was out on a date with a 23-year old French model/Playmate, when some drunk guy insulted his woman. Sean chased the guy away, but the guy snuck up on him later when he stepped outside to smoke, and stabbed him. Sean then kicked the guy's ass, went inside an ordered another beer, refusing to go to the hospital. He finally consented to bandage himself up with the bar's First Aid kit.

i started watching this on demand this week (summertime leaves you with more free time but the same amount of money so i've got to entertain myself somehow ). i've only seen the first 4 episodes, but the biggest question i have so far is......
what's with all the brother/sister sex???? i guess everyone was doing it back then huh? haha
You can download the episodes, if you want. It's pretty easy. Not sure if it's frowned upon to talk about that kind of stuff on the forum, so PM me if you want me to tell you how to do it.
