I started watching the series and am all caught up. It's a fantastic show. I'll consider picking up the books in the future. How many are in the series?

Depends on how you count

GRRM put out the first 3 at a decent rate (1996, 1999, 2000)
When book 4 came out in 2005 GRRM claimed that it was actually just the first half of book 4 and the second half was mostly written (kind of how book 3 is mostly a continuation of book 2)
Then book 4, part 2 (or book 5) came out 2011

GRRM has said that he wanted to transition this story to the TV screen so now that he has what he said he wanted hopefully he will get his ass in gear and write moar GoT. He said he wants to make a lot of cashmonies and he knows that interest in this series will never be higher than while the show is airing on HBO. I am sure Charlene Harris has been making stupid amounts of money by releasing a new Sookie book every year right before the new season of True Blood premiers.
