It's been so long since I've read the books that I think I enjoy the show more because I've forgotten so much of the books
Likewise. The show is better than the books IMO for several reasons:
1. The show writers had the decided advantage of improving on the obvious weaknesses in the books.
2. The show writers seem to be better writers, more creative, etc. and are writing for a TV audience.
3. The biggest disadvantage for the show writers is time/length/detail constraints but this in my mind has has actually been a net positive in their ability to consolidate the details into meaningful moments. The books really drag in Feast of Crows and become down right boring.

100% agree. I think the remaining 13-15 episodes are going to be amazing to watch. As much as I love the books I do think they drag on in Feast & Dance because of Martin not knowing how to proceed with some of the storylines.

I just finished listening to a GOT podcast that went over all of the current story lines and differences between the show and books. I read ADWD right when it came out, AFFC right when it came out, then ASOS a few years earlier.
I forgot how downright boring the last 2 books are - I totally believe GRRM has written himself into a corner.
I am loyal to the story first and the show is taking it in a great direction.
