When someone asks me which of the novels is my favorite my gut response is always A Storm of Swords. Here is my list why it kicks so much butt and will make for great televison.
Spoiler
10. Arya's adventure with the "her pack", BWB and the Hound.
9. Tyrion get screwed at every turn by his own father.
8. Dragon Fire
7. Stannis seams to orchestrate the demise of his foes.
6. Davos is just such a perfect portrayal of the common nam and so human.
5. Sansa finally gets the hell out of Dodge.
4. Saphires!
3. Jon becomes Lord Commander
2. Joffrey finally dies
1. The Red Wedding. An event so shocking it is going get them the Emmy for best Drama.
Please let me know what I forgot.

10. Littlefinger's reveal as the one behind Sansa's rescue. (that won't work in the show now, will it? Hmph! *grumpy*) 9. Dolorous Edd doesn't get to be Lord Commander. 8. Jorah is exiled. (screw you, missy!) 7. The Old bear's watch is done. 6. UnCat 5. Pigeon Pie. 4. Tywin takes an arrow to the kne...um sorry, 3. Bear pit. 2. Trumpets at the Wall 1. Grey Wind's head on...you know. That tops everything for me. And they're friggin' doing it ahahahah...wait that's not funny.
PS: Paul, I moved your topic here, because initially it was outside of any category and ended up on a separate subforum (of its own).
Tell me if you think it fits the show section more.
