The Winds of Winter (GRRM)

[Valarya]

I decided to leave this thread title somewhat vague because now we'll be able to use it for years to come (since that's how long it will take the book to actually be released). Hah.

The REAL purpose for creating this thread is to let those of you know GRRM has just posted a Sample Chapter from The Winds of Winter (Book 6 of asoiaf) on his official website.

Don't go clicking this link if you don't want to read it or be spoiled:

If you guys haven't realized this yet, I love spoilers. I eat them up whenever I can get them. Love love love LOVE.

Back in 2003 Martin was touring the states doing signings and conventions and reading chapters from his next book. Back then he didn't know it would be split in to two (AFFC and ADWD). Attendees of these events would take 'notes' and post their synopsis on the forums for anyone to read. Turns out some of those chapters were to be delayed for Book 5 and were only viewed in their entirety this year when Book 5 came out. Spoiler chapters known for 8 years and it still did not take away from the enjoyment of actually reading it in it's natural place.

So I'll be diving right in to this sample chapter..... now!
