George RR Martin just announced today that he’s close. Close enough that his publisher is giving another release date:
TUESDAY, JULY 12, 2011
And yes, he acknowledged all the slipped deadlines of the past, but promised it’s different this time. I, for one, am ready to take this abusive husband back into my house. And I’ll start by re-reading A Game of Thrones. I was planning on waiting until the beginning of April to re-read it so everything would be as fresh as possible for the HBO series, but I figure in a month, I could probably run through the whole series and back again.
Anyway, time to head down to the basement and dig up that book.
