Yavannie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think it's the best title of the bunch.I was getting sick of all the titles starting with "A" and having to re-shuffle my whole bookshelf each time a new GRRM book was released.stupid A's....What is this vile sorting order!? Such blasphemy! The right order is (obviously) by the author's surname, and then from oldest to newest within that author! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techelles Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't want to be THAT person... but this post is incredibly offensive. OCD is a very serious mental health condition and is not something you should mock.By that logic, we wouldn't have movies like As Good As It Gets. (Great title, incidentally.) So arbitrary sensitivity will only get us so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StannisBamfatheon Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I agree that having one novel with the word "The" instead of "A" is off-putting, but I think the title is okay. My major gripe is that it probably won't even cover what GRRM originally intended to be in The Winds of Winter; he still has to cover the majority of material he intended to include in A Dance with Dragons (including, you know, the second dance of the dragons).I don't want to be THAT person... but this post is incredibly offensive.

Pinkie Baelish Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 'A Taste of Winter' suggests that the realm will only receive a small sample or taste of winter. 'The Winds of Winter' on the other hand, has a more ominous feel to it, and the word 'winds' suggest that winter will spread. like wind, across the entire realm. I have no problems with GRRM's chosen title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
