And the writer who tries to fit a thousand lives in one series of novels never fucking finishes the fucking books.

True. Would love a redux version of the series because the phone book sized cast of characters is superfluous...

its like a play of words and ideas lifted from Shakespeare

“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.”

― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Fuck that fat lazy fuck. He’s off screwing around writing for video games and not finishing his fucking book series.

I'd rather live my own life well than read about the lives of 1000 other people.

R.R. Martin tries to be the grandson of a granddad and a father he has absolutely no relation with. Real fantasy fans know which two guys i'm writing about and Martin is like amateur league compared to those guys.

He did all his writing for TV anyways and no real author does this.

Fuckit my queen is right: Even Ken Follett is better and i read him only once.
