Does anyone know the differences between the TV show Game of Thrones and the books?


I know the TV show Game of Thrones is based on the books named A Game of Thrones series. I have watched the first two seasons of  Game of Thrones DVD set and now I am on the third season. But I haven’t watched the books. Does anyone know the differences between the TV show Game of Thrones and the books?
A4: I watched the books of the show and I think there are some differences betweent thess two. The show adds a few years between Robert’s Rebellion and the main storyline and ages all the child characters accordingly. The show adds several sex scenes, often as cover for exposition, and invents the character of Ros, the prostitute who sleeps with a number of characters. Theon’s sister, Asha in the novels, is renamed Yara, presumably to avoid confusion with the Wildling woman Osha. These are the differences I noticed between the show and the books!
