That would be a terrible decision.
They mostly finished book 3 and have dipped into Books 4 and 5.
Read them from the beginning or you will be pretty confused. There are lots of characters and events left out of the show.

I suggest a full reading. I was thinking about doing what you are doing after S1, but I went ahead and started with the first book. I was done in no time. Well before S2 started. Thinking about doing a re-read, but I don't have a ton of time right now.

You can't go wrong if you start with book 1.
If you start at 4, you will pick up on the earliest story lines.

Just read all the books from start to finish.

Then you will remain a Hodor...essentially.

Bad idea. You will be very confused. The show changed several details that really alter the arcs of several major characters. Also, the show has done some things from books 4 and 5 while not having done everything yet from book 3.

I say start with book 4 and you will be alright. Snobby book people will tell you that you will be lost, but you will be fine.

start with book 3 because it's the best of the series

I really don't think so. The show has deviated from the books. Just start from the beginning.

he would have no idea why Tyrion keeps obsessing over a certain phrase if he started with book 4

That's true, I may have been thinking book 3. It's been a while.

If you are going to do that read the last chapter(epilogue) of Storm of Swords first. That was left out of last night's show and is kind of important.
