If possible listen to the audiobook(s) read by John Lee. He is amazing.
Pillars is fantastic...by all means read it first
They are so very different--one history, one fantasy. I felt like I learned something after reading Pillars, although it certainly was entertaining too. Game of Thrones--I was hooked on the HBO series first, then went to the books. I'm not sure I would be AS invested in Game of Thrones had I not had the cinematic visuals to go with it. But that's because my memory is terrible and I can't keep all the secondary characters straight! (Picturing faces helped.)
I'd personally read GoT although I liked Pillars when I read it when it first came out. Even if you don't read Pillars, do watch the miniseries!
Pillars...great book, read years ago and still recall details!

What Claudine, Donna, Bonnie, Dave, Amy and Kathy said!
I have not read Games of Thrones (although it has been sitting on my bedside table for a year). I did read Pillars of the Earth and loved it. I gave it to my family, they read it and gave it to their friends. I vote to start with Pillars of the Earth. Happy reading regardless of the one you choose.
