Re: Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Mossman Send a noteboard - 02/10/2010 02:57:29 AM
I had stopped trying any new series for a long time because I was so sick of waiting on GRRM (and RJ before he took ill), but I finally got hooked on a new author...

...Pat Freakin' Rothfuss!

I sure can pick 'em, can't I?

I now deal with my GRRM misery by getting as many people as I can hooked on ASoIaF so at least I'm not alone in my suffering.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1907 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 941 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1034 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 925 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 402 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 439 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 858 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1026 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 500 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 987 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 877 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 962 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 829 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1066 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 858 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 959 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 939 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 806 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 435 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 909 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 911 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 916 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 404 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 402 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 966 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 940 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 981 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 856 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 794 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 793 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 889 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 795 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 419 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1060 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 895 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 367 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 847 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 407 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 892 Views
