I was cussing that sumbitch out a LOT! Made for fun reading. 
Okay...I think I got the L + R = J...but I'm not sure who R is. Not KING R??

Only Howland knows for sure, unless he told his kids.

This is my favorite series, I'm very worried GRRM will go the way of Jordan.

That looks likely right now, but Meera (possibly Jojen) may know outright too. They can be secretive.

What does Barristan Selmy know? There were three knights of the Kingsguard at the Tower of Joy instead of fighting against the Rebellion. Once the war was over he surely tried to figure out what was so important that they sat out the fighting.

I don't know what Selmy knows. His comments in the white book probably tell us his thoughts on the matter.

pretty interesting read and react blog or tor.com. The reader has just got up to "the things I do for love." Always get a kick out of ppl's first reaction to that scene, and her's doesn't disappoint.
These are great, reminds me of when I first read the book. Cannot wait till she gets to the really shocking stuff that happens latter.

It is one of those books (really the whole series) that I wish I could read again for the first time. Enjoy.

(Moved from the season-long thread.)
Most of the details of the Blackfyre Rebellions and the Great Bastards come from the Dunk and Egg novellas. It won't have much bearing on the series anytime soon but fans of the books should read these before ADWD hits the shelf. Lots of info that's going to play into Dany's storyline in a big way. (And I suspect into Sansa and Littlefinger's as well.)

There are only 2 Dunk and Egg novellas, correct?
Posted on 4/26/11 at 5:25 pm to SLC
Three. New one came out not too long ago.
There's no way the book is coming out this summer. It's not even finished yet, and it typically takes 6+ months from completion to see a book on the shelves at Barnes and Noble.
Gurm's problem is that he's made enough money that he doesn't have to work. He can go to nerd cons and blog about pizza and the Jets/Giants all fricking day long and it doesn't negatively affect his lifestyle.
He spends what little time he does work on editing "Wild Cards", a horrible horrible superhero series. As related to me, one of the heroes derives his power from tantric sex. In one instance, he kills a guy, then brings him back to life in order to question him. How did he bring him back to life? By fricking him. Yep. frick you, Gurm.
It'd be easy to blame the delay on Gurm's decision to forgo his original plan of a 5 year gap. The gap would have let Dany, Bran, Sansa, Arya, and Jon grow into believable young adults. It would have made sense. Now he has to figure out how the frick to get Dany from a 16 year old girl with no education and near-feral dragons to a world-spanning conqueror and savior of Westeros from the forthcoming invasion of the Others.
But no, that's too easy a thing to blame it on. The real reason is that he's a lazy fatass resentful of his most famous and lauded work, and would much rather eat himself into an early grave and ogle young girls at every nerd convention around the globe.
I saw some of you figured out that Jon is really Lyanna and Rhaegar's lovechild. Did y'all also know that Sandor Clegane is still alive?

Obvious troll is obvious.

The 3rd dunk and egg novella is really good. The writing is on par with the series imho, and it gives very interesting back history on the Blackfyre Rebellion.

I've wanted to read the novellas but am not interested in graphic novels, and was hoping to find them separate from the anthologies. Not looking like they're available like that tho.
