I started reading the Song of Ice and Fire series, beginning with A Game of Thrones, a little while after it first came out, back in 1997.

One of the main reasons I started this series was the fact that I was sick of waiting for the next damn Wheel of Time book, by the late Robert Jordan, to come out.

First off, let me say that I really liked the old Wheel of Time series, even though I have yet to finish it. When book TWELVE finally comes out, I’m gonna start over from the beginning.

In any event, as much as I liked Wheel of Time, Ice and Fire kicked the shit out of it.

It was hands down the best, most compelling Fantasy series that I have ever read, but there’s one small problem with it….

THE MOTHERFUCKING AUTHOR WON’T FINISH IT!!

The last book that I read in the series came out in 2005, and I started reading this fucking series FOURTEEN YEARS AGO.

I mean, shit, I started this series before I got married, before I got into filmmaking, before I became a Lab technician, pretty much before every major development of my adult life….and it’s still not done, or even close.

Yeah, yeah, there’s a new book coming out in a couple of months, and yeah, I hear the HBO series is awesome…but screw all that.

Until it’s done, I’m not gonna look at any of it.
