I read the books in 16 and I’m glad I didn’t start reading in the 90s when the first one came out. If I was his publisher I’d try to convince him to just let someone else finish. I will say that I’m very hesitant to start an unfinished book series now.
Started reading when A Feast for Crows came out (2005) on the recommendation of my friend's dad who started reading the series way back in 97/98. Back then I remember the ~5 year gap between Swords and Crows was a big deal to people. If only they knew.
Martin seems to have enough money and not enough motivation to finish the series. The guy should just throw a million at someone like Sanderson to ghost-write and finish the damn series. Not that I would care, I checked out of the books back in 2015 when it was obvious that Martin was more interested in making TV shows.

Sanderson ghost write, are you looking for a happy ending?
Hoid shows up and steals the Iron Throne for shits and giggles, The End.
Yeah I didn't want to get to nerdy and say if Sanderson finished it he'd put ASOIAF in the Cosmere
At this point I'm just looking for an ending.
Yea. I know it’s petty but I refuse to watch any of the spinoff shows. He acts like it’s odd that people want him to finish the series.
Same. I refused to watch any of GoT beyond the first season. Seeing how the ending of that series let everyone down was quite enjoyable though.
