George R.R. Martin reports on the writing of A Dance with Dragons: he now has 1100 manuscript pages, and hopes to bring the book’s final manuscript in under 1500 pages. He says that the book is now longer than A Game of Thrones and A Feast for Crows, getting close to A Clash of Kings, and has a way to go before A Storm of Swords. Well, that’s nice and all, but I’m not going to get happy yet.
I’ll probably start a re-read of the series in a year, though.
I'm not exactly sure of the chronology, but it's my understanding that this is book five of, what, eight? I've got the first four sitting on my bedside table, but I ain't starting a one of them yet. Has the third book of the Third Thomas Covenant series come out yet? Can I start that series yet?
