Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM
Did you watch that awful soap opera Beauty and the Beast? I didn't. Based on its cancellation, most people didn't.

Have you read his latest WILDCARDS book? I haven't read any of them. No one else has, either.

George R.R. Martin has money and can keep stuffing his gut and feeding his cats (I'm sure there are several) because of A Song of Ice and Fire. Period.



Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1972 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1004 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1102 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 994 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 427 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 464 Views

Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1096 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 531 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1052 Views
I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:37:53 AM 939 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 1029 Views
I was in an odd mood last night Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:46 AM 875 Views
Hahaha Darth_Katie - 22/09/2010 01:24:17 PM 1004 Views
I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 899 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1137 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 928 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1021 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1004 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 876 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 459 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 971 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 984 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 988 Views
I stopped caring so long ago I don't even remember much of what it's about. *NM* Macharius - 22/09/2010 04:21:52 PM 428 Views
Wolves and incest and a big wall of ice with barrow-wights on the other side. *NM* Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:19 AM 426 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? Larry - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 1031 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1007 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1048 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 924 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 861 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost Tashmere - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 850 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1106 Views
Re: Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Werthead - 24/09/2010 08:55:29 AM 1025 Views
which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? Aeryn - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 955 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 865 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 450 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1121 Views
As I said in a previous response... Larry - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 898 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 971 Views
Re: Nothing wrong with him if does have a high opinion of himself. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:11:06 AM 392 Views
I'm always amused by these threads. Variant - 24/09/2010 08:22:54 AM 951 Views
Re: I'm always amused by these threads. Fox and Ravens - 24/09/2010 02:42:27 PM 1032 Views
Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book. Kotagg - 25/09/2010 12:46:03 AM 917 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 429 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 959 Views
