I've never watched Game of Thrones but I know tons of people that have.

I love Game of Thrones! I read the whole "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin. The books are definitely better than the show.

Are they? I don't think I know anybody that has read the books before.

They are superb! There's supposed to be seven books in the series. The fourth book, "A Feast for Crows", is my favorite.

Cool! How many are out so far?
1_Wizard
There are five books so far. The fifth, "A Dance with Dragons", was published in 2011. So, quite awhile ago.

Damn, what's taking him so long with these books then?

He's currently writing the sixth, "The Winds of Winter". He is well known to be a notoriously slow writer and is a harsh critic of his own work...which may explain the delay, much to the dismay of fans.

I have heard that he is pretty slow, but damn it's been almost 8 years since the last one!
