Oops, meant George R.R. Martin. Sorry for that blasphemy. Had just typed out how I had read some Guy Gavriel Kay and I guess I just had Gs on the mind. And indeed, he is a godly example of fantasy authory (now officially decreed a word). And he really does need to hurry his self up.

EDIT: There don't seem to be any assholes on this forum, surprisingly. We all seem to be some fairly tolerable folk here.
