That's a great question. I think that part of it is the hype. When a hot new book comes out, everyone wants to be a part of that conversation...and most of the books lately are rather dark and dismal.
In my particular group...dark and gritty rules the day (and this is fantasy, not SciFi). So if I want to join in the conversation I have to have read GRRM. And I hate GRRM...so I get left out of the conversation.
