1. Currently the most prevalent form of decision-making in the western world

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state
So what are these ridiculous rumours that the last two books will be realeased at the same time in March 2017?

Totally the truth! Yep, GRRM has been fooling us all these years and both books will be out in March!

Clinton is going to lose because 2016 hasn't been the most hosed up year it could be yet. Korean president being run by a cult, Philippines run by a Filipino Murder Trump, England wanting to leave the EU, an almost entertaining comic book movie is made (Deadpool), and last but not least, the Cubs winning the world series.....against the Indians. I swear, I wouldn't be surprised if he did finish WoW this year since up is down and what not.

There is even more talk of a spin off series. I just can't see what story they could tell, that would be more of the same thing in that setting.

Samwell happens upon Lady Webber's braid and attempts auto-erotic asphyxiation while Gilly and the babe sleep in another room. The masked champion of the Grand Orgy reveals himself to be Darkstar!

No need for reading between the lines. He did say in the post that he was only months away. Of course we know that he's a total jackass but there's some who might not be as familiar with George's lies.

I believe it will be out before christmas. Also that it is a 3rd quarter 2017 release. Also that it will be posthumously released, chiseled on his obscenely large tombstone and you have to fly out there to dump out a meat lover's deluxe on his grave to get a jewelers loupe out and take a turn reading it. Everything feels equally possible to me. Whatever happens when it happens I'll say yup i called it.

Yeah this. He has been holding them back to make sure they are perfectly edited with internal consistency. After all they are his legacy. The final chapters in his Magnum Opus, a testament to the imagination and gripping prose of the American Tolkien.

He's gonna start re-releasing the first five books with minor edits a-la Stephen King. The first book will include 20 different instances where characters 'foreshadow' Theon's castration and each book will contain hundreds of contemporary pop-culture references.

I stalled out on Dark Tower because I wanted to read the connected novels (the main ones anyway), and none of this bugged me until The Stand unabridged. Like, oh look, a dude reading a loving Ninja Turtles comic when you said in the preface that you just wanted to just put back the bits that got cut out in 1978. Give me a break, Steve. You don't always have to be hip with the kids.
