I disagree strongly about the name calling even as I agree with many of the thoughts behind this post. It is infuriating when people use words like filler, padding as if their tastes and interests are the only things that count. I am re-reading CoT right now and really enjoying it, especially the sections that other people dislike. My favorite characters by far are those that most people dislike.
On the other hand, we ALL have blind spots. And while, I have no problem with people pointing out each others blind spots, it should be done with humility and without name calling. (Asking them to remove the plank from our eye so that we can remove the sliver from theirs.)
Cast not your pearls before swine. Seriously, it's not like I'm going to change at this point. Sorry if I am picking on you. I have tendency of going harder on people when I agree with them, since I don't want a good argument tainted.
Better on me than someone who will whine about it.

A Dance of Dragons will influence A Memory of Light?

It's impossible for nothing to happen in AMoL.

Actually, there is growing discontent, even among those who've defended Martin.

Those who says that nothing happens in ADWD really need to read CoT

Watching grass grow is better than reading CoT, so it's not saying much for ADWD *NM*

A Dance of Dragons is hardly filler. *shrugs* *NM*

Agreed. It could be argued that more happens in the epilogue of ADWD than all of CoT. *NM*

I regret wasting much of July reading it, so I respectfully disagree.

I do request that you don't lump ALL of fantasy into those two authors

At least he didn't ramble for five thousand words before actually making a point. *NM*

Wait... You want intelligent meaningful books, but you're demanding action?

I think the issue is conflating fantasy with the multi-volume epics than anything I'd disagree with
