I hope he finishes the 6th book in time for the show, he's not exactly known for writing quickly. If he doesn't I wonder if the show will end, or if they will continue without a book to go off of.

I heard he spoke to the producers about the direction he wants to go, in case he has a heart attack or something.

I hope season 3 is even half as good as book 3. If it is, it will be the best show ever.

Given that they do one season per year and that this season and next are both A Storm of Swords, I'd say he's got a fair bit of time to complete The Winds of Winter.

2013: A Storm of Swords 1/2
2014: A Storm of Swords 2/2
2015: A Feast for Crows
2016: A Dance with Dragons
2017: The Winds of Winter
2018: A Dream of Spring

A Dream of Spring seems to have no chance of beating the show unless they keep splitting books over two seasons. That would push that season into 2021.

Why is Baelish quoting Miley Cyrus?

I think SevenFingers is right... if he continues on the same writing schedule he has been on, we'll likely see the next book in about 7 years, and the final book in about 15 years. But they will be great.

HBO should hire a full-time personal trainer/dietary consultant to whip Martin into shape. We need to preserve his body, to support his invaluable mind.

I've heard of this but neither read the books nor seen even one episode. Can someone give me an outline? eg - magic the gathering the tv show, a connecticut yankee in king arthurs court, yet another robin hood thing...

LOTR soap opera with lots of sex.

...I mean that in a good way.

The only way I can describe it is:
The greatest books I read (not saying much)
Arguably the best show on TV (because of the awesomeness of the books... unfortunately a lot of people can't stand the sex, but never blink an eye about the gore)
