In a way, I think that the miniseries is going to bridge the gap for a lot of people, in that it comes with the "same" characters and plot, but without a billion words' worth of prose attached. I also think A Song of Ice and Fire generally would've made a better graphic novel series in a lot of ways, because that would've reduced the narrative to bite-sized chunks. But then you have to wait for the art, so...tomato, toMAHto, in terms of time-lag.
One way or the other, I admire these books immensely, and I trust in their creator's sensibility. Which is more than almost anyone else seems to do, these days.
