2 Years between books 1 and 2
2 Years between books 2 and 3
5 Years between books 3 and 4
6 Years between books 4 and 5

What makes anyone think book 6 will be out anytime soon?
I want to read it, but I am not even going to pretend to anticipate until at least late 2013.

I am confused about the blurb. Since when?! Is this accidentally the summary for #7 or did I seriously miss something?

Three more years till I can even start anticipating the next one.

George R. R. Martin, please write like the wind.

Check out Nymeria's comment below, "Write like the Wind". LMAO.

"Expected publication 2015"?

*narrows eyes*

Words are wind, Ser George, words are wind.

Arrgh.

YOU GUYS, IT HAS A COVER. AND A TENTATIVE RELEASE DATE!

[edit: 23 April 2013] Okay, both were taken back. A shame, because I really liked that cover, and 2014 seemed like a good date. :(

After Roger Zelazny and Robert Jordan, my prediction is that GRRM will write book 6, get halfway through book 7 and then come down with some rare, instantaneously fatal disease that leaves us all once again lost and forlorn and unsatisfied. It seems to be a pattern. From now on, any author who writes a series longer than 3 books I'm going to request their medical records before I read the books.

Still, looking forward to the next installment even if I AM chewing my nails to the quick over the nex...more

I have only read the first book, and I follow the tv series. However, I've spent hours, and hours, and possibly days on the wikia page, reading up on every single character's storyline (Okay, not every. I might have ignored Joras. Sorry Joras.) and almost all the fan theories. I think I'll read this one, I'm not sure if I want to. I didn't really enjoy the first book, but I love the story.

Please hurry and finish the 6th and 7th books!!

The 5th book ended horribly in my opinion! Whats happening to Jon Snow?! Why did the men stab him?! The questions are endless...

I want to see that Bastard Bolton flayed in the 6th book too please.

You left everything so open ended I hate you and love you at the exact same time.

I just finished A Dance with Dragons. It is the hour of the wolf and I can't sleep. The end of this book is absoultely amazing, and leaves me with the absurd need of hugging you and slapping you at the same time, George Really Ruthless Martin.
You are my many-faced God.

Looking forward to really know what took place at Harrenhal, to finally understand why the Hell Robert Baratheon decided to wage war against the Targaryen in the first place (since it looks like nobody, in reality, would worry to much about another crazy Targaryen king)

It took a nearly fatal run-in with a van for Stephen King to finally guide "The Dark Tower" series to its decades-awaited conclusion. What kind of violent sign from the universe will it take to nudge George R. R. Martin toward the "Song of Ice and Fire" finish line?

George R.R. Martin better write this thing quick. After waiting 6 years for "A Dance with Dragons," and then it ending on such a huge cliffhanger; I don't think we fans can take the emotional tole of waiting till 2015 to read "Winds of Winter."

One small consolation is that if they continue to go by the "one book per season" format for the HBO series, he'll have to publish by 2015 since they start filming a year before the season is aired and season 6 would be scheduled to air in 2016.

I have this plan that when this comes out in 2015 I'm going to drop my child (by then, age 4) off at grandma and grandpa's house, get myself a hotel room, and do nothing but read this for 3 days straight.

GRRM, please finish the 6th and 7th book and please be always healthy. Just like what I told my friends on Facebook, I'll pray to the old gods and the new that you'll finish them... quickly.

Do you think that it would harm George R.R. Martin's creative process if we forcibly locked him in a plastic bubble to keep him healthy and germ free until books 6 and 7 are complete?

Hoping beforehand that the book is fabulous and that Martin returns back to form and gives us even better final two books than his first three in this series.
