probably pass on the books, how many are there?
I believe there are 5 that he has completed. He is still writing the last 2 i believe but he is pretty old I believe and not in that great of shape. Season 1 mirrors the book very accurately and i heard season 2 is similar, but not as close.
They are super long and small text though so its not that easy of a read. I just sit in traffic for an hour coming home everyday from work and am running out of podcasts to listen to. But if you enjoy reading, everyone that i know who has read the books recommends them
