I was talking to a friend tonight who is about to embark on reading the books (my powers of pimping are mighty), and I talked myself into the opposite opinion than I had before, just because she is very spoiler-averse wrt movies and tv, and knowing how the story comes out really ruins it for her. She's kind of on one end of the spectrum there, but I think there's a little of that in many people. I don't personally have that issue, but also, people do seem to do better with linear storytelling, in my experience in fandom.
