I slogged through all of the books when I was in high school. I remember them fondly. I tried to reread the first book before the show started. I couldn't do it, for all the same reasons y'all are saying. I'm rereading the second one now, and it's fun but slow. IIRC, the second and third books were very good, and the fourth one kinda sucked.
I think the second season's going to be really good. Tyrion, Jon, and Dany get pushed into the thick of it (in a real decision kind of way). And I think they'll do a good job of speeding up the pacing.
