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 2232 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 1261 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 1382 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 1267 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 549 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 584 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 1192 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 1412 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 654 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 1310 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 1186 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 1150 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1406 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 1184 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 1275 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 1264 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 1135 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 585 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 1237 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 1284 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 1240 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 555 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 552 Views

Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 1284 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 1295 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1210 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 1136 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 1131 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 1387 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 1203 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 1140 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 578 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 1385 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 1241 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 1213 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 547 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 1235 Views
