Sorry you’re not glad. Maybe work on that cynical nature.

One large coke and some nachos, please. Hold the limburger cheese.

Work on your comprehension skills. I meant "that makes one of us who can admit their shortcomings" You were the one glad it was me, I might add.

Might want to focus on your own comprehension skills. Maybe ask someone to help you with playing on words and phrases, and focal points of sentences.

If you try really hard you might even be able to understand the plot devices in Winds when it comes out. You’ve probably got a few years. Or in your world I suppose you’ve got an eternity, so there’s hope.

He’s signed a five-year deal for more HBO projects.

At this point I no longer care. I won't read book six. Reading book 6 would mean going through books 1-5 again because it's been so long ago. Starting over would mean having to slog through books 4 and 5 after a great read in books 1-3 and I could never even finish book 5. It's just not worth the effort. There's too much out there I want to read.

At this point it seems Mr Martin is more interested in $$ than finishing the series. More power to him.

I would totally read book 6 if it comes out. I'm fairly sure it won't. This series used to warp my judgment of its place in my top 10 books. Now that the dust has settled, I can say book 1 is 20th in my list.

That may be part of it. However, I suspect that working with a team of other writers does much to mitigate writer's block which might help to bring his ideas to fruition sooner.

Unfortunately, the final 2 seasons of the HBO show has negatively changed my view on the books to. So besides the fact that book 6 and the final books may never be released there also me being tired of ASoIaF now.

I read the first four. Then I moved on when it was apparent he had no interest in keeping the series going. After all this time, I wouldn't buy the next volume if it was free... just as I haven't bought anything else he's written after this fiasco began.

I purchased an omnibus edition of the existing 5 books quite awhile ago (I think it was $10) but haven’t started reading any of them. Nor have I seen any of the HBO series (maybe 4 episodes). Any recommendations on which to embark on first, and when to stop reading/watching?

You should always read the book first! And stop after the third, because GRRM loses the plot, both figuratively and literally, with book four. Then you can watch the series which at least will tidy up some of the mess of the fourth and fifth books and achieve closure.

[P.S. If you’re squeamish, the HBO series might be too hard to take.]

I'd say stop after you've finished the first book. I did read the second book but started skimming when I realized that his character development consisted entiredly (intentional misspelling) of every character being pissed at some other character(s) and wanting revenge.
