Hi all!

I'm not really a new noob, but still noob at heart, and full of nooberish questions.

Is there a thread that lists the deviations between the books and films?

This thread discusses changes which has radically changed the view of a character: http://asoiaf.wester...er-a-character/. The book discussion threads after each episode usually bring this up as well :)

Anyways, that's what I came up with on the top of my head ^_^

Hello there. I'm new. So even though I haven't read the books, I have a little more knowldege about the TV show than most people who just watch it. I've really done some research into back stories (come across a few spoilers along the way...had some things ruined for me...Red Wedding. etc...)

But now I'm determined to read the books because I don't want to have anything else spoiled for me. Also: Yara Greyjoy is really named Asha, which rocks because Asha is my name. :)

Your name is Asha? Wow, that's pretty cool.

Thanks! I've never seen a book character with my name before so I was pretty excited.  Do you have any suggestions on which book I should start at? I've seen all the TV episodes.  Should I still start from the beggining?

Yes, I think you should start from the beggining. The show is as faithful to the books as it can be; however, you should see them as two different ways to tell the same story. Take my advice, you won't regret it, Lady Asha! :D
