Robert Jordan put out a book, died, managed to get another book out and has a second one set for release on Election Day


Say what you like about Jordan and his writing, the man was dedicated to finishing the series.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 2132 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1154 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1278 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 1162 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 496 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 530 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 1090 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1285 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 601 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1206 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 1085 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 1197 Views
I was in an odd mood last night Tom - 23/09/2010 03:36:46 AM 1035 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 1050 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1305 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 1079 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1172 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1164 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 1028 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 534 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 1144 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 1177 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 1136 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 503 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 495 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 1193 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1167 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1196 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1093 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 1028 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 1035 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1284 Views
Re: Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Werthead - 24/09/2010 08:55:29 AM 1171 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 1100 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 1036 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 521 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1285 Views
As I said in a previous response... Larry - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 1062 Views
I only recently started reading the books fistofpainx - 23/09/2010 04:17:14 AM 1111 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 1138 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 471 Views
I'm always amused by these threads. Variant - 24/09/2010 08:22:54 AM 1117 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 1103 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 493 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 1118 Views
