thoughts on the literature of George R. R. Martin?
He has to be some sort of rapist. Once they get cosby sorted out, shits going to come out about him.

He actually wears a replica chastity belt (based on the middle age designs) according to his blog.
one of the greater literary minds of the 20th and 21st century to be honest family
>>7581441
Shit
3 words
HELLA FUCKIN EPIC1!!!1!11!!!
>>7581458
Chastity belts didn't exist in the middle ages.
He is the master of reddit
>>7581441
He hasn't written any literature so I wouldn't know
>>7581553
So he's not that disliked on here? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

>le literature meme
get the fuck out
i pity thee
>>7581441
I've read samples of his work that are at the same literary level as fifty shades of grey.
Tuf Voyaging is pretty good and the beginning of asoiaf series is good also. Too bad he has no idea where's hes going with that one and it'll keep him from writing anything else before he dies.

Do you have any you can post? I've never read anything of his. I'm not sure if /lit/'s hatred is based on anything sound or just backlash due to reddit's obsession.

Ok I don't like him but they are not that bad.
He knows what he is doing. It's just mediocre.
>>7581441
Entertaining. He's good at writing plotlines. His prose isn't atrocious, but not great either.
As great as ASOIAF is, it is definitely a cash cow and he is milking it for all it's worth.
>If I was really cynical, I would start up some kind of medieval sword and sorcery series, tell everyone it's a trilogy, and then write it for the rest of my life whenever I need a paycheck - George RR Martin, early 1980s.
That said, he is a very good writer and certainly significant to fantasy, sci fi, and to a lesser extent historical fiction. Fevre Dream is my favorite vampire story, and while I haven't read very much of his sci fi stuff the couple short stories I have are pretty good.
Not literature and just as shit as Harry Potter. Don't even consider myself a "patrician" or anything of that sort, but it's terrible.
>>7581441
not literature.

>Wears a chastity belt
He is the living embodiment of Reddit. R/ nice guy is flowing through his vains.
He's my favorite children's author.

Whenever he's brought up I always think of the that character shitting brown water
Pretty cool guy. Makes insecure /lit/ posters rage.
>>7584563
>old man trying to shit
also, every time he mentions a woman he describes her tits
He's written better works than /lit/ could ever hope to achieve.
>>7584595
reddit please
Mfw normie showfags will find out what happens in the Winds of Winter before me
He's written better works than /lit/ could ever hope to produce. His prose is shit but his characters and plots are entertaining enough. I'm glad I enjoy the show, his book purists are an autistic bunch
(You)

Embarassing for /lit/ because it's true. As much as you hate him you will never have the world building skills he has, or even match his mediocre prose.
>>7584659
His worldbuilding skills are ripping off history.
>>7583823
Not that guy but he is pretty cringeworthy
She was sopping wet when he entered her. “Damn you,” she said. “Damn you damn you damn you.” He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure. Her cunt became the world.
Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water.
