After lending the books to friends, almost none of them could remember the title, but they could remember A GAME OF THRONES. I've heard the same from enough people over the years and online to see it's a widespread phenomenon. More concisely, GAME OF THRONES is a shorter title which is easier to fit into title sequences, on DVD sleeves and so on.<br /><br />As for the book, depends if it is related to this 'announcement' GRRM hopes to make on the critics' tour. If it is ADWD being finished, the book could be out in late April to early May at the earliest. However, take that with a pinch of salt the size of the Ross Ice Shelf ;-)Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-57084265865485247322010-12-17T15:33:09.451+00:002010-12-17T15:33:09.451+00:00Adam, any opinion on the series being called GAME ...Adam, any opinion on the series being called GAME OF THRONES instead of A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE? I think I sort of prefer the latter. I also think it would be cool, sort of how Nolan called his film THE DARK KNIGHT with no reference to Batman or the previous film, if they DID just call Season 2 A CLASH OF KINGS. If Season 1 is a hit, people will not have any trouble finding Season 2.<br /><br />Also, when's the next book coming out? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-24527876202579066852010-12-17T12:34:50.496+00:002010-12-17T12:34:50.496+00:00The series' official blog is here:

Based on that, Book 1 will be covered faithfully with plenty of time to spare.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-56304403926104318792010-12-17T12:13:34.896+00:002010-12-17T12:13:34.896+00:0010 40 minute episodes to cover a Game of Thrones? ...10 40 minute episodes to cover a Game of Thrones?
