Game of Thrones : Season 1
http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=20253
Never heard of the books myself, but they sound quite interesting, & HBO has a good track record for quality TV.

I started to read book one but lost interest early on due to the way the story was written but I may just dig the book out and try again.
A later update to your link shows that HBO still seem to be interested

Update: 10 September 2008
GRRM has confirmed that HBO have exercised their option and now own the television rights to A Song of Ice and Fire. Whilst this doesn't mean that the show is in pre-production or 100% go, it is a very significant step forward, as money has exchanged hands.

ROFL, I didn't realise the article was so old - I copied the link from a thread at DS which I now realise is from 2007 & simply got bumped this week!
Ooops...
However, according to the post at DS which bumped the thread...

The books are very hard to read but I suspect that they may well work better as a visual drama..

Re: Game of Thrones : Season 1
I've read all the books so far in the series (ongoing), which I really enjoyed.
Can't get Sky (Too many Trees), so I'm interested to hear any views on the programme, Might have to wait for the DVD !!
