I was 13 when Gene Wolfe's Soldier of the Mist came out Larry Send a noteboard - 14/12/2009 02:32:45 AM
I am now 25 going on 26. Unbelievable.


And I'm 35 now and only two more books in this unfinished series have been released (one with an 18 year break). It is doubtful the series will ever be finished.

But ya know what? I really don't feel like whining about it. I do have around two thousand books on my shelves and throughout my house to read, so I don't fret about what 1/2/4/10 authors are doing so much. It's nice to have millions of books out there to explore :D

And The Eye of the World was published before I was born. Quit complaining. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/12/2009 04:18:20 AM 443 Views
If he decides today that he doesn't want to write another book in his life, then he has every right lord-of-shadow - 10/12/2009 05:35:43 AM 1105 Views
We've all heard Neil "You think he's God" Gaiman's stupid thoughts. Many of us disagree. *NM* Tom - 10/12/2009 03:55:17 PM 375 Views
Also, most of the fans complain more because we hear more about stupid knight figurines MightyYT - 11/12/2009 07:52:57 PM 955 Views

Agreed completely. Tom - 11/12/2009 09:51:06 PM 890 Views

What was he making his money from before 2007? Joker - 15/12/2009 06:51:28 PM 956 Views
His work in TV and the film and movie rights to his work. Werthead - 15/12/2009 10:17:30 PM 914 Views

I wish Martin was still 21. Maybe he'd live to finish the series. lankyevilme - 16/12/2009 04:44:27 AM 876 Views

Indeed, and you have a right to do so. But not everyone has seen them, and I still agree with him. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 12/12/2009 06:58:14 PM 362 Views

Of course, two books followed that one in the Wheel of Time. Ghavrel - 13/12/2009 04:53:17 AM 888 Views
That's not what I meant. Werthead - 13/12/2009 05:37:07 AM 855 Views
It just seems a particularly bizarre comparison as several books have been published since then. Ghavrel - 13/12/2009 06:55:16 AM 836 Views
But only one of them was any good. This leads into a core argument over writing speeds. Werthead - 13/12/2009 06:55:59 PM 786 Views
It also hinges on the fact that his upcoming book will be fantastic. Ghavrel - 13/12/2009 07:50:57 PM 900 Views
No, it doesn't. That will either justify or further condemn the wait. Werthead - 13/12/2009 08:52:35 PM 888 Views
Poor choice of comparison... fionwe1987 - 13/12/2009 08:20:14 AM 952 Views
That's a very coloured view. Werthead - 13/12/2009 06:47:16 PM 968 Views
Of course it is! That was the point... fionwe1987 - 16/12/2009 10:42:55 PM 997 Views

You'd kill for some Latro action figures though, would't you? *NM* Werthead - 14/12/2009 05:30:46 PM 332 Views
Some days, I'd just kill... *NM* Larry - 17/12/2009 01:38:52 AM 349 Views
If Martin was 21, maybe he'd have enough time to finish the series. *NM* lankyevilme - 16/12/2009 04:46:32 AM 355 Views
