Game of Thrones:Can I skip book 1?

I finished watching the HBO series and I have heard that the television adaptation closely follows the book. So i was wondering if I could just skip book 1 and go onto the second, or if I should read book 1 because i will not fully understand book 2. ThanksGame of Thrones:Can I skip book 1?
The first book has less action than the other, but it has such great character development and there are a hundred thousand unsolved theories that are never mentioned in HBO. If you want to read the books, why don't you start with the first? or do you just want to know what happens?

And you'll never get to meet novel Eddard and his thoughts and regrets...oh my.

You'll probably understand book 2 without book 1. I've read the whole series two times now and I still stumble upon characters or plot points I've forgotten. But without book 1 you won't appreciate the character development the same. Especially when it comes to Sansa, Jon, etc.Game of Thrones:Can I skip book 1?
I think you will understand book 2 even without the first book.. but why skip it? Reading is so much better than watching the series, and will def. allow you to understand the story even better.
