thinking out loud..

I love reading but I have a problem with sequels – the endless wait.There are some authors who deliver the sequel on the said time and there are some who don’t.But either way, there is a wait.
I started reading George R.R Martin’s “The Ice And Fire Saga” in 2004.Aweome book!when I started out, there were three books already released and so it was a joy ride.I dint have the need to wait endlessly.The fourth book got released in 2005.I have been waiting for the 5th instalment from then and in the process I think I forgot the plot!Its been 4 yrs now so I cant really blame my memory.I discovered new authors like Terry Brooks, McMaster Bujold, Terry Goodkind but I still come back to thinking when will I read the fifth book?There is something about leaving a book unfinished, dont u think? Even more so if we get involved in the plot and the characters. That’s the problem with sequels.They trap you in, weave a magic around us and leave us wanting for more. And I continue to wait…
