You know whenever the new book is ever released, it'll sell even more copies due to the wait, right? Larry Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 11:06:37 PM
You're just not cynical enough about all this ;)

Personally, I rarely read multi-volumes these days, so I never think much about it. But then again, there was the Walter M. Miller, Jr. "sequel" to A Canticle for Leibowitz that came out about 40 years after the original...of course, Miller had to commit suicide first and then the family had to get Terry Bisson to finish it ;)

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 2207 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1237 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1360 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 1245 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 538 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 574 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 1167 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1379 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 644 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1283 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 1161 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 1128 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1383 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 1157 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1251 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1241 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 1102 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 572 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 1213 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 1253 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 1216 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 544 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 543 Views

Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1254 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1273 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1180 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 1107 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 1105 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1360 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 1174 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 1112 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 564 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1356 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 1217 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 1177 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 538 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 1205 Views
