I know hyperbole is trendy, but it took five years to get "Feast for Crows" out and six years to get "Dance with Dragons" out.

That's 1800 best-selling pages in 11 years. Not too shabby.

I'd rather not rush art. If I want crap to read I can go to a Borders, it's crammed full of every variety of crap at deep discount.

Well, not anymore they're not. Borders is out of business now. But I get your point.
