'Game of Thrones' Book 6 'The Winds of Winter' Won't Publish This Year

I blame Trump.

With that out of the way, yes I'm still interested in reading it. Mostly because I'm so disgusted with the writing for the TV show that I'm interested to see how the story goes with good writing.

 

Clearly it is Obama's fault. The policies he put in place with the regulation of too long books have come to fruition. Time for Trump to exert executive privilege and lift that inane order.

 

lock HER UP!! The north, If you're listening, I hope you find the missing Raven messages.

 

I think GRR just trolling now

I don't think he even bothered to finish it now

I think I've watched about three minutes of Game of Thrones. In that time there were like six brutal murders. I'm like... eh. Moving on.

 

I stopped reading after book 3. They are great, but the slog to read them makes Tom Clancy's reads look positively brief.'

The show is giving me the ending I need, and lets face it....the odds of Martin finishing this given his age and lack of dedication is pretty slim.

 

The first 3 books took 4 years to come out, book 4 took 5 years to come out, book 5 took 6 years to come out....and it has been 7 years since then.

I'm not expecting this guy to finish the series at this point, so I don't care if he ever puts another book out.

 

I've been waiting for GRRM's stupid deadlines for years now. I wouldn't mind it as much if his last two books weren't complete trash and 50+% of it wasn't filed with useless material.

He has gotten into the mindset of pages for the sake of pages since SOS.

 

I watched a few episodes of Breaking Bad within the past decade, despite that, don't ruin this stuff for me..

 

After HBO utterly jumped the frikking shark in the 2nd half of last season, yeah, I'd prefer to see how the author will finish the gigantic story he created. But like many here, I have doubts he can do it before he dies. Hopefully he'll leave some manuscripts behind so we can see where he aimed things to go.

But after all the waiting and HBO overtaking him, my enthusiasm is reduced.

 

He clearly had other primary interests.

 

Don't blame me - I supported Ron Paul (in '08).

Anyway I never thought he'd publish another in his lifetime, so I'm not surprised. We'll see what happens after he passes.

 

I'm not holding my breath (obviously). The author's history with deadlines speaks for itself. Having said that, I will read it when it does come out. Since this topic is in D&D, for some reason I can't fathom, I'll add that of course it is all trump's fault.

 

I'm not as eager for the books. I do still look forward to it because they are generally well written, and provide depth and detail that the series is missing. However, it's kind of like a waiting for a girl you met. At first, your mind is racing with possibilities, but if she blows you off for too long, you move on and get on with your life. It's possible when she finally gets back to you that you'll give her a chance, but it won't be with the same level of expectation.

 

Good for you. Glad you stopped by in yet another thread in which you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

I think he's written himself into a corner honestly and doesn't know how to finish. There is a ton of pressure on him to finish, moreso than usual because usually a book series is completed before it is turned into a TV Show or Movie.

I look forward to the book though.
