    George R.R. Martin's "Dance with Dragons" has an OFFICIAL release date!

    Obvious, huge grain of salt considering what he's put us through

    No. Sorry. Not done yet.

    I'm close, though. Watch this space. When the book is done, you will read it here.

    Meanwhile... there is news. Big news. The end is in sight, at long long last, and we're close enough so that my editors and publishers at Bantam Spectra have set an actual publication date.

    A DANCE WITH DRAGONS will be in your favorite bookstore on

    TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2011

    Yes, I know. You've all seen publication dates before: dates in 2007, 2008, 2009. None of those were ever hard dates, however. Most of them... well, call it wishful thinking, boundless optimism, cockeyed dreams, honest mistakes, whatever you like.

    This date is different. This date is real.

    Barring tsunamis, general strikes, world wars, or asteroid strikes, you will have the novel in your hands on July 12. I hope you like it.

    ((For what it's worth, the book's a monster. Think A STORM OF SWORDS))

    The dragons are coming. Prepare to dance.

    And hey... thanks for waiting.

      It's been so ****ing long, I'm not sure I even care anymore, or even remember the other books in the series.

      Plus, I won't believe it until I see it

        I recall bits and pieces (mostly because of forum debates over certain aspects - I'm sure more will come to light as people point them out) and characters (Jaime, Cersei, Brienne, Jon Snow, etc). Even just contemplating it now has brought up recollections I haven't considered in 5 year.... sadness.

          What's fantastic is just last week I started reading Game of Thrones, in prep for the mini-series release in April.

              I have been thinking about rereading it for a while, maybe this will finally get me to.

                I don't even think i read the last one. I don't know why because I did like the series up to that point. And Yes it would take me a bit to remember all the characters and plot lines.

                  Agreed. I evn bought the book and lent it to a friend. The long delay and my failing memory meant I was unable to immerse myself as I had earlier.

                  Maybe once I know the book is out I will get the series on kindle reader and plow through them back to back. Depends on what I have on my list at the time.

                    That might be a good idea. I might even reread the one before the last one to really get back into it.

                      Maybe some fan site with a flowchart would be helpful

                        It's been so many years that I think it will take more than that.

                          I have a paperback collection of fantasy books so it'll be a longer wait for me. Fortunately there are some other books I want coming out in the end of march.
