I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him.

He made a commitment to write the books, so he damned well needs to write the books. I know his defenders are always saying shit like, "but he's given us these wonderful books, he doesn't owe us anything." To which I say: bullshit. To use an old phrase, you dance with the one who brung you. Your fans made you, dude. You can write until your fingers bleed, but without readers, you're nothing. I bought his books and he made a commitment to finish them by choosing to write them as he did. And, by his own statements. Finish the damned books, man. If you die and don't finish them because you're a jerk, then you won't be remembered as some great author. You'll be remembered as a hack who couldn't finish what he started.

Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series.

I said I'm "growing" to hate him. I'm not ready to pay for his death yet.

I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were".

You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right?

There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz.

Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon?

Truly, there's really no reason that you can't be both angry at him and planning to buy the book.
