    He has some stuff written for the book after DWD, but yea I could totally see him dying and some other author finishing the series based on his notes.

    i really think the meerense knot added a year or two to this shit


    i think he can bang the last two books out by late '13 if he really wants to.

    Yeah, I'm hoping it really was that knot bullshit and not him just being lazy. With HBO coming out with a series which will probably hype these books to all new levels maybe he'll get these others done faster. Hell, look what happened with True Blood and that shit sucks compared to this.

    One thing to think about is that now that HBO is shooting his books he has to stay ahead of them in terms of getting the last two out. Each season is supposed to cover one book, so if they do a season per year then that means

    AGOT: 2011
    ACOK: 2012
    ASOS: 2013
    AFFC: 2014
    ADWD: 2015
    TWOW: 2016
    ADOS: 2017

    You figure HBO will need at least a year to write all the scripts for a season so that means he has to have the whole series finished by 2016. So we just need this fat shit to hold on for a maximum of 6 years and then it's all good.

    My level of scepticism is so high, that I didn't feel the slightest tinge of excitement about an announcement about the announcement date of the publication of the book I've been waiting 5 years for.

    I don't know where you came up with this but Martin himself was talking about the filming of season 1 and how it covers stuff from more than just the first book.

    Where did he say this? Everything I have seen has said the first season will cover the first book. Of course I haven't been really keeping up with it since the HBO series was announced.

    The rumor is he has 5 chapters left to write. I wouldn't be surprised if the release of Dances with Dragons is near the time the HBO show comes on March 2011 I think.

    I started reading a few months ago. I'm almost done with the second book. As suggested I'm definitely taking my time. So far like it so much better than the Wheel of Time.

    If you want really good summaries of the books check out www.towerofthehand.com they have chapter by chapter summaries with footnotes. Its an awesome site for ASOIAF and George R R Martin info.

    Re: Song of Fire and Ice ??

    Agreed. Jaime is the greatest character still living, though when Lord Snow finds out who his true parents are, marries Daenerys and rides one of her dragons to destroy the wights he will be on a Rand al Thor level.

    Unless dragon riders = Daenerys, Jon Snow and ... Jaime Lannister? Or maybe Arrya Starke? I'm pretty sure of the first two riders but not sure who the third will be.

    Found this on the wiki page.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire

    Despite initial hopes of A Dance with Dragons being published quickly after A Feast for Crows, the writing and revision process for this fifth novel proved more difficult than anticipated. On January 1, 2008, Martin published an update on his website saying he hoped to have the book published in the autumn of 2008, but that it was only a hope.[25] As of October 2010, the author has published no further updates on his website. Martin has in the past announced finishing dates for earlier works on his blog, and in the last several years also announced the genesis of other projects, which has caused some fans to wonder if he has lost interest in writing A Song of Ice and Fire. Martin has said that this is not the case.[citation needed] He insists that he will not be bullied and continues to work at his own pace, on this and several other projects, to make sure they come out as good as he can possibly make them.[not in citation given][26] Since then he has made several comments on progress in his LiveJournal [27] [28] On Oct 11, 2010 it was confirmed by GRRM’s editor Anne Groell that Martin has finished all but five chapters for A Dance with Dragons, and that the five chapters remaining already exist in partial form. She also teased the hope of the publisher that the manuscript will be finished by Christmas 2010.[29]
