I'm always amused by these threads. Variant Send a noteboard - 24/09/2010 08:22:54 AM
How much do you want to bet that 90% of the people in this thread are likely to buy his book as soon as it comes out? Talk is cheap guys. If you're really fed up then don't support him, don't buy his books, don't read them.

I'm indifferent toward Martin, I've not read any of his books in years. But I always get amused when people bitch about a fantasy series. There's are a lot of books out there, better books. Although, I no longer read multi-volume fantasy books these days.

Because George R.R. Martin does everything but write these days... Tom - 22/09/2010 04:15:04 AM 1837 Views
I don't hate him. But, like you, I'm fed up with him. LiterateDog - 22/09/2010 04:47:31 AM 872 Views
I'm pretty much in the same camp as you and Tom. everynametaken - 22/09/2010 06:17:53 AM 963 Views
I'm beginning to agree. Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 09:55:07 AM 851 Views
I do like Neil Gaiman's writing, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2010 10:01:24 AM 374 Views
I can forgive you. *NM* Tom - 22/09/2010 02:08:46 PM 410 Views
Not only is he a writer, but he has really only one successful series. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:40:30 AM 788 Views
Far more people watched B&B than have read ASoIaF. Werthead - 23/09/2010 07:01:22 PM 947 Views
good point *NM* aragornital - 22/09/2010 08:07:16 AM 468 Views
Wait a minute... Larry - 22/09/2010 11:33:37 PM 913 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 802 Views
bahahahahahahahahaha temeraire - 22/09/2010 06:10:26 AM 888 Views

I'm not sure I'd be dictating chapters from my deathbed Tom - 23/09/2010 03:35:43 AM 751 Views
I was thinking the same things a couple days ago Fox and Ravens - 22/09/2010 02:22:49 PM 1003 Views
I'm not sure Brandon Sanderson could finish the series, either. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:33:52 AM 787 Views
Sadly, I would be satisfied with this. StormCrow - 23/09/2010 03:01:04 PM 885 Views
If I was an author I wouldn't defend him. Tigr - 22/09/2010 03:35:17 PM 864 Views
I agree but emphatically endorse use of the subjunctive "were". Tom - 23/09/2010 03:31:25 AM 744 Views
If I were to be grammatically correct, the world would stop spinning. *NM* Tigr - 23/09/2010 02:27:00 PM 402 Views
Martin is not the only one... ajah - 02/10/2010 08:16:51 AM 827 Views
If he had only ever written stand-alone books... Gher - 22/09/2010 03:42:48 PM 844 Views
There is more than an expectation. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:30:32 AM 844 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 365 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 370 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 883 Views
Bisson was already working on it when Miller died, IIRC Werthead - 22/09/2010 11:17:50 PM 861 Views
Close enough Larry - 22/09/2010 11:26:51 PM 906 Views
There's a huge difference between Song of Ice and Fire and Miller's Leibowitz. Tom - 23/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 788 Views
I know - I was just thinking about wait times for stories Larry - 23/09/2010 03:40:09 AM 733 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 738 Views
Don't mistake yourself for the average consumer Larry - 24/09/2010 04:03:57 AM 978 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 805 Views
That's why I always do. Werthead - 25/09/2010 04:51:49 PM 729 Views
Re: Mostly, because I don't buy from Amazon. *NM* Danae al'Thor - 26/09/2010 12:09:03 AM 389 Views
I don't plan to read it. nossy - 26/09/2010 03:28:02 PM 984 Views
As I said in a previous response... Larry - 26/09/2010 11:15:13 PM 767 Views

Where's your evidence that Neil Gaiman thinks he's God? Tim - 23/09/2010 01:31:03 PM 819 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 780 Views
I never said it was hypocritical, just saying it's amusing. *NM* Variant - 25/09/2010 11:06:42 AM 376 Views
So y'all just bitching? Variant - 25/09/2010 10:31:23 AM 823 Views
