In a post originally created on imgur, CynicalJohnson highlights some of the major plot differences between the book series, "A Song of Ice and Fire," and it's television adaptation, "Game of Thrones." If like me, you too became a fan of the television show and are yet to read the book series, you may be unaware of these differences. Here are few of the differences CynicalJohnson mentions.

1. The Loras/Renly Storyline

In the television series, the relationship between Loras and Renly was portrayed as a hot forbidden fling which assisted their assassination whereas in the books, their relationship has depth and actually builds up to a meaningful yet painful end.

2. Jeyne Westerling/Talisa Stark

Were you confused by how easily Robb seemed to be swoon into making a decision that affected his entire family and ultimately led to his death? Then read the book!

3. Stannis Baratheon

Stannis is not really the kind of father who sets fire to his own daughter for the sake of power.

4. Bloodraven

5. The Sand Sisters

In the books, you might actually like the sand sisters!

6. Ellaria Sand

Ellaria is not driven by vengeance.

7. Tryion Lannister

Tyrion is more than just sarcasm and wine.

8. Jamie Lannister

Jamie is actually a respected leader, not just a catalyst for other characters' story lines!

9. Jon Snow

You can read this detailed piece here. But in a nutshell, Jon's death was not a random stab in the back.

10. Sansa Stark

Sansa is actually a political warrior in the making.

Whether it is because the show just ended and you're craving more "Game of Thrones," or because you want to discover the different plot lines from the books, it's probably time for you to start reading "A Song of Ice and Fire."
