I'm reading the books, and once I finish one I watch the corresponding season.
Currently I'm in the third book and just learned how you can kill the white walkers/ Others.
While so far I prefer the books, I do have to give the show one thing, it does seem to (ironically) handle a lot of the female characters a lot better than the books do.
Which is hilarious considering that the show basically invented a whole new whore character just to be able to spend more time in the brothels.
I don't support any of the houses, since I don't care for any of them. Heck, I don't even care to memorize the majority of the characters. The only character I actually really care for is Tyrion, and Dani is pretty cool, oh OK, John is cool too. And well Aryia is basically the Punisher. Oh and Varys, Varys is cool.

Also, taking The Black sounds awesome as hell. I'd definitely do it.
What? Freezing your arse off, never love, abandoning everyone you care for, just to then die pointlessly in the snow sounds awesome to you?
