Forum:Should I...

So I just finished watching season one, and I am a big fan. I would like to read the books, but I am wondering if I can start with book two? Part of the reason is that I really want to see what happens, so I am not eager to go over the same happenings that I just watched (I actually watched season 1 twice). Would it be a smooth transition? Would I be missing too much that possibly wasn’t covered in season 1? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
