even though his books are Randroid self insert rape fantasy, can get books out the door, unlike Gurm.

This is why he can churn out books, because he writes them by slapping his dick on a word processor. Gurm actually uses his thick sausagy fingers to write his books and the result is 1. engaging and unpredictable storytelling and 2. sensuous descriptions of medieval food bordering on fixation.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

3) Totally a minor nitpick, but does anyone else feel like some of his characters mannerisms have become less distinctive? I found myself getting annoyed when he would reuse the same phrases and verbal cues on multiple characters. Does everyone in his world really say "elsewise" and "you are not wrong" all the time? I don't know maybe this has been the case throughout the books, and I just didn't remember... It has been years since I read the previous books.

I must needs concur.

I think my biggest problem with Dance was the Harlequin Romance cookbook slashfic was toned down so much. What's the point of reading a GRRM novel if he's not painstakingly detailing food (and nipples).

I remember getting to the part where Victarion pirated that boat full of prostitutes and he started in on describing SEVEN of them and I was like "oh poo poo here we go" then there was only like a sentence for each of them. The hell?

"Dolorous Edd opened the salted barrel carefully, almost reverently. He knew he had discovered the best food in all of Westeros. Yes, this is why. This is why we made a bijillion-mile-tall wall of ice that doesn't protect us against poo poo. There were three flavors; one was sweet and savory, colored a mahogany brown and smelling of the rich dark humors of Sothoros. The next ribbon was pink and bright, tangy with the freshest strawing-berries of the Arbor. The last was kind of boring and creamy and white; it needed peanuts or hot-fudge or something.

I ate a delicious shawarma today. Chicken and "beef", on a bed of lettuce and onions, sauced with hummus, garlic puree, and sesame sauce, wrapped in a warm pita. It was delicious.

The man-wolf rumbled a growl and bent down to lap at the sweet crystallized milk in the bowl below, drizzled with warm elk blood.

"You know nothing, Jon-Ghost," said Edd with a wry smile as he gently stroked his friend's soft downy fur.

He spread it on crisp brown toast, right from the toasting rack. Dripping with salty butter and smothered is the richest peanuty goodness he had a good and wholesome breakfast.

Random prediction, but I think that the "waking dragons out of stone" part of the prophecy could be fulfilled if Babby Aegon contracts the stone disease from Connington and is subsequently healed by whomever (just kidding we all know it's Jon).

Well, if you'll recall from the last chapter, Clegane shared a drink with Jaime Lannister after senselessly beating a bartender to death, then left to go visit the High Septon.

I've read quite a bit more Dashiell Hammett since then, so I hope the series becomes more noirish than before.

Not far off the mark. I'd rather he take his time (risking not finishing due to death) than have him put out another adwd. I honestly am more concerned with the value of my signed 1st editions. :colbert:

I just made lemoncakes last week and meant to take pictures.

Sumptuous and moist lemoncakes the color of a summer sun, dusted by powdered sugar, the bright citrus flavor dissolving into bliss inside one's mouth. Their gooey, sugary sweetness reminded Dany of the semen now resting in her womb. "When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east," said Mirri Maz Duur. “When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves."

I had dumb opinions on stories for a long time, but when I wised up the stories became so much more rewarding because I can appreciate them on multiple levels. It's not just "Arya did some stuff," it's "Arya did some stuff, and changed as a person from who she was before," and when you get really into it it's "Arya did some stuff, changed as a person, and this reflects a general theme in the work of shifting identities and the search for self."
Surely no reader over the age of fifteen only sees the first level though? You don't need to 'try hard' or focus your thinking towards 'critical analysis' to see character development. I refute that.
