Will it be this year?

Doubt it. Would be next year at the earliest now. He obviously doesn't give a fuck anymore and has made more than enough money, so he doesn't really have any pressure or drive to finish it.

At this point, he seems content to simply let the show conclude the story, even going so far as to tell the producers and screenwriters the major plot points of the overall narrative.

He DGAF. He's made enough cash to allow him to live comfortably for the rest of his shitty short existence.

As someone who actually enjoys reading, you people sicken me. The only thing you have to justify your existence is the illusion of patrician taste. You will never accomplish anything, you will never create anything of lasting value, but still you bitch and moan about anything that doesn't fit into you self important bubble of 'respectable literature'. You will always be on the outside looking in.

I love it when some pseudo-intellectual vocal minority tries to enforce its little uppity (and completely deluded) vision of what is literature and what /lit/ should be. Many tier charts suggest that /lit/ should be a very close circle of "patricians" (concept stolen from /mu/) collectively circle-jerking about Ulysses, Finnegans Wake and Infinite Jest. In reality, no one has ever read FW, maybe three people have read Ulysses and IJ is mainly used for trolling purposes. It's also funny to watch how /lit/ used to love ASOIAF back in the days and then started hating it with all its guts because it was adapted in a "popular" (!) TV show. Those who remember the shitfest that was early /lit/ (the same shitfest that made mods create an artificial rule 3 about Ayn Rand) can't and won't ever take /lit/ seriously.

Not even defending GRRM here, the last two books in the series have been shit. But you guys are a fucking cancer. You circle jerk over the same handful of authors over and over, as if this somehow cements your 'I have superior taste' badge. You're poorly read try-hards who have latched on to a few key works because you don't have the mental fortitude or independence to read anything else. Yes, Pynchon is good, so are Joyce, Wallace, Kafka and all the other authors in baby's first elitism starter kit. Move on, branch out, read something that hasn't been group approved by your r/truereddit hive mind. You take the joy out of reading and suffocate meaningful discussion in the crib.

He's pulling a Frank Herbert. He'll finish Winds of Winter in the next year or so, and have the final book about half-finished, with a complete outline, which he'll leave on a couple floppy drives when he dies. Then some cunt, possibly one he produced, will come along many years later and refuse to publish the outline/notes. Instead, that motherfucker will write a book much, much worse than anything GRRM could shit out, but only after writing bullshit prequels that aren't necessary and serve only to make characters more one-dimensional than they already are.

Asoiaf fans are too easy to troll. When you see the exact same shitty posts in every single thread you're meant to ignore them.
