Watching it, loving it.

Not read the books, not going to until the TV show is fully done - from what I've heard the books have quite different aspects and do things in different orders. It'd be possible to read the books along with the tv show and spoil both.

The chapter structure in the books is taken from the point of view of individual characters: Ned, Sansa, Arya, Catelyn, Jon, Danaerys, Tyrion. So they are the only people who's inner thoughts you read about, and only the things they see and do are experienced first hand. Other events are spoken of or relayed 2nd or 3rd hand. So for instance in the TV series yoou see a couple of scenes between Varys and Littlefinger, those scenes never happen in the book. Same as a scene between Cersei and Robert. The TV series stuck reasonably close to the order of events in the books, but a few things happened slightly out of sequence.
