Yep, I agree. There is no way I’m stopping with 3 books to go. I have hope he won’t suck though.

At least according to Sanderson’s website he plans on releasing one every year and have the series done by October 2011 which still might be before we see anything from Martin.

He’s apparently re-done the current book at least twice though. I’d think if he’d just stopped caring he would’ve just plowed ahead with what he had and stopped re-working it so he could get his money and have his fans stop bothering him.
