Game of Thrones is on Season 4, what book are they on?

I've read the first one already should I read the second one or skip it for the third?

Do they get better and better like most people say?

>>	Anonymous Tue May 6 03:38:35 2014 No.4859173 season 4 is the second half of the third book but they're messing with the chronology of a couple characters you might want to read the second just because they had to mix up and simplify a lot of the plot for the sake of tv

It's a mixture of:
- stuff from the second half of book 3
- bits and pieces based on stuff from books 4 and 5 (particularly the Brienne and Bolton/Theon storylines)
- OC (e.g. Bran at Craster's Keep)
- stuff that the books haven't revealed yet and might not be OC (e.g. the Night's King and the baby at the end of ep 4)

>there are people on /lit/ right now who think responding "Start with the Greeks" to every thread is still funny

To OP: they're on books 3 and 4. Season 3 was the first half of book 3. Almost everything in the show is the latter half of book 3, except for Bran and Cersei/Jaime's plotlines, which seem to be accelerating into book 4 by this point

>reading a series because you saw the tv version
>hunting out only the covers that don't refer to the tv series that encouraged you to read the books in the first place
