No doubt. I've been trying to give him benefit of the doubt, but this is starting to get a little ridiculous. A Feast for Crows came out in 2005, if Amazon is right? That's PLENTY of time to finish the next two books.

Heh well he is working on other projects. Some of them are even books. As much as i want to read the next book, Im happy to wait for it in his time. I dont want a rushed project. On a somewhat related note Im starting the new Wheel of Time book today after I go pick it up.
I don't want him to rush, either, and hand in a substandard product. And I'm all for taking breaks. But when it takes you six months to write two chapters, that's stretching things out a bit too much.

Just finished Chuck Palanhiuk's "Rant." I don't recommend this one at all. He took a very unique style to writing this story (which was good and fun) but the overall premise and twist just didn't work for me.
Finally finished Dragonfly in Amber. Another beautiful, heartbreaking book. I need to read a few others before taking on Voyager, but I will definitely do that soon.
I also started Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things a couple weeks ago, so I'll continue reading on that until I pick another book to finish the year with.

I'm reading Paul of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. It's set between Dune and Dune: Messiah. Not as good as the original Frank Herbert stuff, but not bad so far. I love these characters and enjoy revisiting them.
Alright, so finished The Lost Symbol. It was okay. Had a great villain (Brown seems to write great villains), but not as good as DVC or A&D I thought. Anyway, now reading Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo
Inspired by the Depp movie (that was so so, but good if you're hun gover), I am 4/5ths of the way through "Public Enemies", a non-fiction account of 30's era gangsters by Bryan Burroughs.
John Dillinger is the centre piece, but it deals with about 3 or 4 different gangs from the era.
I like Dillinger, and Alvin (Ray) Karpis, they are sophisticated and not blood thirsty. Not Robin Hoods either, but at least they have a certain class about them, and they are long gone so don't profit from the book's profits. And who would have thought that Ma Baker is actually "Ma Barker" and did sweet f.a except jigsaw puzzles. J Edgar Hoover made stuff up.
It's not often I've read 500 pages plus in 3 weeks, gripping stuff.
Still working my way through Fragile Things. The semester is over in about 4ish weeks; I am so very much looking forward to almost a month where I can not read school books!

Finished "Public Enemies", good non fiction fare. I'd give that a 9/10.
Now onto a Neil Gaiman book of short stories. I've never read his work before. The first story about the knight looking for artefacts who kept visiting an elderly housewife was very bizarre in a quirky kind of way. Anyway, the intro preview to each of the stories seemed interesting.
