@ArtofASOIAF ...It pains me to say, but if he doesn't finish ASOIAF, it cannot be called one of the greatest works of literature, nor he one of the greatest writers.
A strong and well crafted ending is part of writing... maybe the most difficult part. Thus far, GRRM hasn't given us that.
@ArtofASOIAF Dude, I love GRRM's writing and definitely believe, if he finishes ASOIAF, it will be one of the greatest works of fantasy, specifically, and of literature, generally, and he will be one of the greatest writers of all time.
But, unfortunately, the reverse is also true...
@Plaster_Harris@adamscrabble Also, can confirm the Kenneth Harl "Great Courses" are outstanding ๐The Peloponnesian War, Rome and the Barbarians, Vikings & Era of the Crusades are my favorites.
