George R.R. Martin
That man he abuses me so. I don’t have HBO and now he spends all his time talking about his “Game of Thrones” series coming to HBO. I gather he is in no hurry to write more mere novels in that series. I would so love to slap him. But then he would get mad and really stop writing. If you finished the damn series you might have gotten a real major motion picture deal instead of just HBO.It better be good, you made me wait for the next book. HBO best not screw this up. Or will I cry.

I’ve been thinking of reading that series, and this just makes me want to read it even more. Don’t cry!
from Scotland, i received the seed of Water and Fire. i listened to the heart of that lands Prophets. i forget the name, but i believe he is called Knox. and as i heard his voice and stood on a hill in Braemar, i felt annointed by the one true Spirit. but for years later i had went into the darkest depression i could have ever imagined. and now, i speak to you from the most perfect state of heart, or union of heart that is imaginable for people of this age…
@tomakeapoint - Oh good lord, you can really string the words together with poetic ease.
this music was very nice. hans zimmer is my hero. i want to see this movie too!
Best.Series.Ever.
I have high hopes for the HBO series. They could never be movies… way, way, way, too involved. At least on TV, he can do a book per season.
Have you ever written to him? I’ve written to him twice and gotten responses both times. I tried to be encouraging. I have all of his currently published Ice and Fire books signed by him in hardcover, including a 1st edition Game of Thrones ($$$, not that I’m going to sell it). I’m sort of kicking myself because I didn’t bring a camera when I met him.
That clip got me excited… shamefully so… ahhh!
Also, I forgot how much I liked the music from Gladiator. I highly recommend the special DVD feature that talks about it.
Never read the series, I’m afraid.
Though, I didn’t realise that clip wasn’t original stuff until the end credits rolled…
@Accolade - Yes I have, I am such fan girl.
And he is a nice guy I would never talk so harshly if he would see it. He is not the sort of artist who can just crank out a book. There needs to be something there for him to write, then he rewrites, and checks for inconstancy. A bit of a perfectionist but his writing shows it.
@Jedi_Master_713 - You should, it is not just good it one of the best ever done
i think you should post more sexy pictures
@Paul_Partisan - No doubt it is good for traffic. If only this blog paid me I might
“teh paige fund”
I feel like I’ve been waiting for the fifth book forever.
@snippetsofstories - It has been forever
I’ve never read the series but I will now. I hope HBO doesn’t ruin it. I have hope for you. In general I have a feeling of dread when anyone takes a book and turns it into a movie or series but one of my favorite books was recently turned into a series and it wasn’t horribly done. They did take some liberties but I expected that since the show had a TV 14 rating and parts oof the book well didn’t.
Sometimes Inspiration doesn’t return our calls.
One of the best series I’ve EVER read.
If HBO screws it up, there will be consequences and repercussions…
Just as long as this series doesn’t turn out how Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth series did on TV. I almost gagged on my own vomit after watching the first episode.
