I just started reading this yesterday. I knew the TV version was coming up but I thought it was a few weeks off. I got the audiobook from Audible with a single credit (which is good value considering it's 32-hours versus 8-10ish for a normal length novel), but I've also got the ebook so I can read and listen simultaneously.

Anyway, I'm enjoying it but I'm hoping to be far enough along so I can watch the first episode tomorrow and not get spoiled. Currently I'm ~20% in and I should be about a third by tomorrow night.

I do almost wish I had a paper copy because of the long footnotes. (I had to update the firmware on my Kobo Mini to get it to deal with them properly).
