Believe it or not, the books were massive bestsellers before the TV series came out. In any geekish, literate part of the internet they were always a big subject of discussion. And it was always considered hugely ######y to give out spoilers. I never came across any in the 5-6 years it took me to read the first four books.
That all changed when the TV show came out, and the TV watchers behaved as though the latest episode was free game.
