And one more thing...Will GRRM Keep Up With HBO?

I meant to add this to the last post, but, what the hey. Here's another tidbit:

Will Martin Keep Up with Game of Thrones?: SFFWorld has a nice discussion about whether George RR Martin will be able to keep up with the writing of A Song of Ice and Fire as the HBO TV show unfolds. Survey says - Nope.

From Werthead: "we will see the end of ASoIaF on screen potentially years before GRRM produces the final novel."

Can't say I'm a big fan of that, but I think we can be almost guaranteed of its occurrence. Then again, opportunities like the show don't happen all the time, so you have to take advantage where you can. Maybe the final season or so will just have poor ratings - I don't think I could watch it before knowing the ending through paper.

Guess the Pattern...

I have this bad habit and I think it will become very apparent as you take a look at some of my collection below.

Can you guess when I started reading these series'?

The Wheel of Time:

The Malazan Book of the Fallen:

Another closer look:


and:


A Song of Ice and Fire:

The Long Price (This one doesn't really apply since I was planning on buying all in mass market paperback and then Tor decided not to release The Price of Spring in mmpb):

The Kingkiller Chronicles:

I plan to catch up on the hardbacks once I have money incoming instead of outgoing, but you can also tell I definitely can't wait for the next volume in my series to come out. Must Have Now!

Although for some of these series', like Malazan Book of the Fallen and Wheel of Time, I had started the series and then a mmpb came out and I bought that instead of the hardcover.
