I guess we have a lot of unsullied in here (non book readers).

I am one.

I tried reading the first book, but it was right after I watched the first few seasons so it was a little redundant and boring, but I may pick it up again.

I felt the same way. Tried to start reading them but, at least with the first book, it was following the show so closely that I was bored.

Sorry but done. Jon Snow was why I watched so done.

Then why would you be done? I don't buy for a minute his story is done -- not by a longshot. I think his story is finally going to be told.

It is less and less so as the books progress. If you're familiar with the Harry Potter series, the initial books are similar in the sense they are simpler and a bit more straightforward, adding richer detail as the story progresses. Martin's get so dense I've been tempted to take notes on a re-read, even if only to build a cheat sheet on the names of people. I have high hopes of book six. I'm wondering how much watching the adaptation be worked on has influenced him to rein in a bit and indulge in an editor a bit more freely. Book five needed it desperately. I felt it when I read it, but the more I think back on it the more I'm certain he was as lost in the weeds writing it as I felt reading it.

Expect magic.

I wouldn't give up on the show just yet. The book leaves it open and I read where Harrington re-negotiated his contract recently to include season 7.

The wait will be difficult but I'm a fan of Snow as well and i have faith we will see him again in some form or another.

Honestly if he doesn't come back then little of hte rest of the show interests me - maybe No Man

My thoughts exactly. Even if Jon Snow is brought back somehow, it won't be until season 7 and I'm not really interested in watching season 6 without Kit Harington.

Do we have a thread for season 6?
Here is an EPIC trailer for season 6:
