    I made my peace with the fact that Winds of Winter will never come out… It only hurts a little these days 😅

        Yup. You regret all the time and energy that was invested in series that never will have a satisfying end.

          I just envision Mr. Martin as a cherubic genie, that on his deathbed, he pulls a PSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYCH! and drops the motherload.

    Still haven’t started actually reading ASoIaF, despite being a big fan and having already read tons of snippets from the books (thank AltShiftX for peaking my curiosity). Maybe this summer I will pick up AGOT.

      The books are great and the show was great up until a point. One is an unfinished masterpiece, the other started as a masterpiece and ended like a sitcom designed by committee.

        Aww, the first is quite unfortunate… The latter though, seems to be a more common fate nowadays…

      If you haven’t read it, try Wheel of Time. I can’t recommend it enough. Ignore the disgraceful Amazon show.

        I’ve heard of it (and its incredible show xP) but never read anything. Will put it on my list for this summer.
