George has released a NEW.......Paragraph!


Recommended Posts

Work of art I remember waiting for for a long time.


  • Eyes Wide Shut. Got into Kubrick in 1990, Eyes Wide Shut was released in 1999.
  • Chinese Democracy. 1994-2008.

Fortunately, I've only started reading ASOIAF a couple of years ago... so I don't have a lot of cumulated waiting time... yet!

Nooo. I just turned 27. So that's 3 years. But it better be in 2015 or I'm going to have to give up on old Mr. Martin

It is simple marketing mathematics. When will the TV show reach the story of ADoS? Probably ~2018/19. There you have your release date of ADoS. TWoW will be released one or two years before that.

As long as TWoW isn't as crap as both them I'm happy to wait.

This is almost certainly fangirl wishful-thinking, but I wonder if they're going to keep the progress under wraps and just spring it on everyone one day. Beyonce used that method for her latest record and it was very successful. It's a great way to generate publicity.

Agreed. TWOW is certainly coming out before season 5 starts airing. So it is coming out probably towards the end of 2014 or early 2015.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. GRRM releases one paragraph (from a sample he's already read, mind you) and suddenly the book must be coming out?

I must be missing something.

To be honest I think replacing Axl with Brandon Sanderson may have improved that album...

I don't even consider this a tease. In fact I laugh at the implication...Hah!!



I started AGoT in June 2008, read through the first 4 books in 2 months. ADWD took me 4 days. So I've been a fan of this series for approximately 2,065 days, approx 2,000 of those days have been spent waiting for new material. (I can't imagine how the poor sons of bitches who started in 97 feel...)

TYRION

Somewhere off in the far distance, a dying man was screaming for his mother. “To horse!” a man was yelling in Ghiscari, in the next camp to the north of the Second Sons. “To horse! To horse!” High and shrill, his voice carried a long way in the morning air, far beyond his own encampment. Tyrion knew just enough Ghiscari to understand the words, but the fear in his voice would have been plain in any tongue. I know how he feels.

So, using the Corn Code, so far as I understand it, with respect to this paragraph, we've got a clear major event code, likely involving the death of a major character. Possible clues in the surrounding text:

"somewhere off in the far distance." (we've also got "a long way" and "far beyond his own encampment") In Westeros?

"to the north" with Stannis? at Winterfell? at the Wall?

What about the "horse"? Or "the dying man...screaming for his mother"? Anyone see clues there?

I don't mean to turn this into a big discussion of the Corn Code or whether it exists. Just thinking of ways to try to read this for clues. I mean, why on earth would GRRM release just one skimpy little paragraph, and one without too much to recommend it?

Because George is an evil bastard and enjoys torturing his fans
