I've only read a couple of his books, Eye of the World and the next book, can't remember the name, but I enjoyed them.

Well, he can take his time, because I'm only on page 800 of "A Clash of Kings". Absolutely wonderful novel. At least this series isn't going to run 10 books plus, that's all I'm saying.

True, he only has three more "to be completed" novels listed in addition to the four already out. But at the rate he's going, that's 2020 before the series finally wraps up

I guess what aggravates me is that he seems to have plenty of time for crap like Wild Cards, collaborations, editing books, etc while the "Ice and Fire" stuff just sits there. Yeah quality takes time, but fer cryin' out loud quit going to a con every other week and spend the time writing once in a while!!

Especially if you really like waiting 10 years between books.

in his defense, at least he was still churning out other books like no one's business.
