Holy poo poo I can't believe it's out tomorrow.

I tried to re-read all the books before then but only managed to get through the second one (had little time to read as of late... :negative:)

Oh well, at least I have synopses on Wikipedia...

The only thing I regret is having to lug around a 1000 page hardcover for the next few days. :(

Is this any way to treat the dean of the genre, a master storyteller dubbed “the American Tolkien” and recently named one of 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine? Martin thinks not.

“I loved Lord of the Rings back in the 60s and like many millions of other people I was eagerly looking forward to The Silmarillion,” Martin says. “But it never would have dawned on me to write to Professor Tolkien and say, ‘You better hurry up with The Silmarillion before you die, old man.’ What kind of cretin does that?”

We're cretins. :smug:

So now he's gonna spend another couple of days screening comments, instead of writing.

His moderated hugbox is supportive, what a surprise

At this point I don't even care about the books anymore. I'll just watch the stupid show and be done with it.

What if the book finally gets published and we learn that GRRM was writing profusely all this time after all and the book is like 15000 pages

He isn’t remotely working on that book.

Gurm is still an absolute fucker.

quote:

“I felt a tremendous amount of pressure for years now,” he says. “The most pressure I felt was a few years ago when I was desperately trying to stay ahead of the show. There was a point when the show was coming out in April and my editors said if I could finish the book by December they’d rush it out. And the pressure I felt that fall was the greatest pressure I’ve ever felt and then at a certain point it became apparent I’m not going to finish it by then. I don’t only want to finish it, I want to make it as good as I possibly can. Since then there’s been pressure but not like there was at that point. There’s no longer a race. The show is over. I’m writing the book. It will be done when it’s done.”

It’s a good thing I stopped caring about new books years ago. There’s much better reading to do elsewhere (and releases regularly).
