Poison was a woman's weapon like as not, though a flagon of fine Dornish sour red sat flanked by two stone cups in the bedchamber. "A sellsword is loyal only to his purse, but a Lannister always pays his debts," said the fiery-haired whore as she unlaced his sleeveless leather jerkin, after which he spent himself inside her with three quick thrusts.

Yes and no.
Books 1-3 are pretty good, getting better as time goes on. As mentioned here, 3 is the high point and it doesn't hit it again. In fact, you'll likely get sick of reading such boring crap about characters you don't like and give up in book 4. If you persevere like a stubborn fool, you'll get rewarded with book 5, which isn't bad, and ends "promising" the series has been worth it, that 6 and 7 will be great reads!
But since book 6 never, I cannot in good faith recommend the books. If you watched the show, that's fine. Don't torture yourself anymore.

He broke his fast on quails eggs before unsheathing his cock, which jutted from his breeches like a fat pink mast. The whore was sopping wet when he entered her, and it was not long before he had spilled his seed all over her breasts. The wench seemed disappointed, exclaiming that his flaccid member was as useful than nipples on a breastplate. Suddenly, he felt a great movement within his bowels. Those damned quails eggs! He rushed to find his chamber pot but by then it was too late. He shat brown water all over his fine satin pillows.

Tolkien is to creative literary genius what Martin is to hack pulp idiocy. They both so far surpass anyone else in their field that they will be remembered 1,000 years from now as a kind of yin and yang of fantasy, a Manichaen duality of speculative letters. For every sublime, luminous beauty that Tolkien has gifted the world, Martin has cursed us with a tedious, banal ugliness. It is unfair to compare the two directly on any one point, because Martin is in every way the anti-Tolkien, patently sterile, parasitical, and inferior, but so much so that he becomes a monument in his own right, and counterbalances Tolkien. Could one exist without the other? Tolkien obviously could. But it is only by the contrast that Martin offers that we can truly appreciate the full depths and heights of Tolkien. Our understanding of Tolkien would be incomplete if Martin had never set pen to page. It is through only the abject failure and futility of Martin that we can approach an apprehension of the true scope and scale of Tolkien's hitherto inconceivable greatness. Perhaps this is what Tolkien had in mind when he wrote about the Music of the Ainur. If Tolkien is a subcreator in the image of Eru, truly Martin is like unto Melkor. It is only reflected in the awfulness of the one that we can fully see the goodness of the other.

Martin wanted to do a time skip between books 3 and 4,that's why you see a bunch of open endings in ASoS, with a bunch of main characters starting their new journeys. But he gave up on that idea halfway through writting it because he couldn't come up with what some of the characters would be doing for five years without noting of notice happening (like Tyrion), This, in turn, made him scrap half of his ideas at that point and start all over again, which explain the longer release date between the books.

Was the show ending and pretty much the main points of the last half of the show are Gurm’s idea? Cersei becomes monarch and faegon doesn’t really matter, 20 good men, Arya kills the night king, King Bran?
I heard somewhere that he gave HBO the bullet points and the gist for the ending that he intended, I don’t know how much they changed from what he said

Probably something like that, but I still expect the books to have done things differently. If grum gave them anything it was just pure bare bones stuff and they still probably cut a lot of characters and plots that are important out to just finish the show.

I don't know. I don't think he had even started writing WoW by the time the show started. Maybe he didn't even know by then how it would end, maybe he still doesn't know. Either way they couldn't wait for him to write all this shit out and just did what they wanted with what little he did know just to finish the show. which is sad because it's likely the only ending we're ever going to know

I have complained about Winds of Winter not being released for 10 years, but I still haven't finished reading Dance. I know what happens, and I don't really intend to finish, but the part of my brain that allows for magical thinking suspects that when I finish this book, he will release the next. I suspect this quite strongly in fact, because a similar thing happened between Feast and Dance. About three days after I finally finished reading Feast, he released Dance. I have the power to stop this. But I will not

as others said, there was supposed to be a timeskip after ASoS and AFFC and ADWD were going to be one giant book. GRRM realized he didn't like doing flashbacks to explain what happened during the skip and had to rewrite a shitload of stuff.

so what happened is AFFC is mostly filler from side characters and ADWD is a fuckton of setup for payoffs that will supposedly happen in winds of winter, but doesn't really conclude anything on its own. which is why fans have gone clinically insane with fan theories over the last 10 years due to all the cliffhangers and lack of resolutions they've been been brooding on.

I'm almost though reading the first book but I can't find the motivation to finish it.
I hate how the chapters are so short; you start off still invested in the last chapter but you force yourself to read the new chapter to get through it and then you start to get invested in that character's story only to have the rug pulled from underneath you a few pages later when you're forced onto some other character.
I feel like I'm getting whiplash reading this book. Also he over uses cliffhangers to the point where it becomes comical, it really feels like your reading a screenplay adapted into a novel like those star wars ones they released alongside the movies.

Sure, but the meta can be tedious (King as King). The Gunslinger (book 1) isn't written in the series style, so expect the begining (book 1) to suck or the sequels (books 2-7) to dip, depending on your preference. They're worth a read, not brilliant, but fun (with a real shit ending).

Give it 30 years or so and they are bound to produce a re-make. Considering the trend of liberalization of what is acceptable in media it wouldn't be insane to imagine a scene like this being put to the screen. Sure it won't be Emilia, but some twenty-something will likely be spewing diarrhea for a shot at an Emmy in a few years time. There is still hope.
