I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM
He doesn't owe his readers a new book in the same way that his readers don't owe him civility. It really is getting tiresome, considering that the books, while entertaining, are hardly literary.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1836 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 870 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 960 Views
I'm beginning to agree. - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 849 Views

I can forgive you. *NM* - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 408 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 781 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 946 Views
good point *NM* - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 467 Views
Wait a minute... - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 910 Views

I was in an odd mood last night - 23/09/2010 03:36:46 AM 729 Views
Hahaha - 22/09/2010 01:24:17 PM 865 Views
I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 749 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1001 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 783 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 882 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 862 Views
Martin is not the only one... - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 823 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 841 Views
There is more than an expectation. - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 842 Views
You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM 880 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 859 Views
Close enough - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 904 Views
Not neccessarily. There are plenty of series that I started but didn't finish because I lost - 24/09/2010 12:58:10 AM 735 Views

which is why I always rant - why review a book on your blog, but not Amazon? - 25/09/2010 03:36:45 PM 801 Views
That's why I always do. - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 728 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 388 Views
I don't plan to read it. - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 981 Views
As I said in a previous response... - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 765 Views
I only recently started reading the books - 23/09/2010 04:17:14 AM 799 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 815 Views
Re: Nothing wrong with him if does have a high opinion of himself. *NM* - 26/09/2010 12:11:06 AM 335 Views
