Game of Thrones (spoilers)

[Nameless]

I finished the books like 2 weeks go, now I am ready to see the result in movies. I've also read somewhere that GRRM has 200 or 300 pages written down already for the next book, gives me faith that the whole sage will be achieved before he gives his last breath.

The books are so gigantic that even though I reread the first four (kind of, I looked at chapter summaries for a feast for crows) and then read DWD I still find myself forgetting major details and even what really happened in the second book.

This can't go past 7 books. My hope is that books four and five were stage setters for the climax which will come in 6 and 7.

I don't think he'll ever finish it. His plot is so fragmented at this point that it will take a lot of writing to tie it all together.

This is pretty interesting interview (there are spoilers here)

'Game of Thrones' Exclusive! George R.R. Martin Talks Season Two, 'The Winds of Winter,' and Real-World Influences for 'A Song of Ice and Fire' - SmarterTravel.com

"What lies really north [The Land of Always Winter] ... We haven't explored that yet, but we will in the last two books."

PLEASE......to those of you who have read the books, please don't post any spoilers in here.

Pretty please.

BTW, I cannot wait until Sunday night!!!

To get back to CFH's point about the books being fragmented, Martin has stated that there will be no new POV characters aside from prologues and epilogues. I believe that book 6 will be mostly fusing storylines and bringing characters together, which in theory could finish the story by book 7.

Book 6 The Winds of Winter is predicted to be 2-3 years away still.

If he does finish it then it will be one of the strangest experiences for him. I imagine that JK Rowling just bowls about her mansion being bored these days, wishing she had something to write about that wasn't Harry Potter.
