There are also a bunch of things different between the show and the books. Most of the things that don't make much sense in the show don't come from the books. xD But the show is pretty much the highlights so unless you're really into the world, they're probably not worth reading. They're a pretty big investment as they're so big! Plus then you have to wait for the next ones which may never come. :P

That's cool your boss is into it! Most people I know seem to watch it. I always have to avoid facebook for a day or so after it airs as it airs Monday night here and I don't usually have a chance to watch it until Tuesday night. xD
I think one of the things that shies me away from the books is probably the heavy lore, background, and spaghetti bowl of complexity I'm anticipating. I like it when books start off simple and only get as complex as they need to be, whereas this series seems like it's got mountains of background that would just confuse me.

My boss and her husband decided to start over and watch it from the very beginning. I've been thinking of doing that too but then there's the how much time it will take issue. I'm someone who is almost never bored. XD
