Why would anyone care at this point?
The series started 30 years ago. In that time frame I went from not knowing about his books, to reading them all in a frenzy, to waiting eagerly for the next one, to realizing that he doesn't know what he's doing, to actively despising the subversive anti-heroic narrative he's trying to spin.
+1 for this. I realized after book 3 what Martin was doing but read book 4 after an outpouring of "It fixes everything!" claims from (lying) fans. Never bothered with book 5.

My AOL Instant Messenger screen name was a GRRM character.. today, I doubt I’ll ever read another word he wrote or will write.
