I don't know how far into the books you are, but one of the main things the show doesn't (or can't) do is get into the history and background of a lot of the issues and houses and such. It's not essential to understanding the story, but it really provides a lot of depth, and the story actually makes a lot more sense.
I'd definitely read it if I were you. I've already read them all, and I'm in the middle of reading them again.

I would agree with this and I just finished reading them for the second time a couple of months ago. I skipped the first book the second time but I may go back and read it again. I also did where you read book 3 and book 4 at the same time alternating between certain chapters. It actually seems to make a lot more sense when I did that. It could also be that I was reading it for the second time that made it make a lot more sense.
