Maybe he's been hit by the Jordan Syndrome?
btw, August 2003 is supposed to be which publishing date: American or British?
***********************
I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the books of Steven Erikson, but all they got was the collected works of Robert Jordan.
George RR Martin

Personally, i do not have that patience.Plus the Dragon magazine novella, is a revised version of "Arms of the Kraken".Told from a number of different points of view.
Out in the UK on the 13th March ( according to WHSmiths )

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

New PoV is still a mystery i think. Haven't really followed the book discussions at the board. Just the same old stuff discussed over and over again. Mostly hang in the Misc. forum.
When it's done
which isn't soon enough. Hopefully before summer.
Tyrion is most likely heading to Daeny.
Jaqen H'gar, maybe we have already met him in aSoS.
Next book
Arya will be a Faceless (Wo)man.

I would rank A Song of Ice and Fire slightly above Erikson's work. But from there, a huge gap forms.

they look at erikson one book at a time, sometimes just a section at a time, you can't read erikson like that - you need to hold in mind the massiveness of his work...

In GRRM s defence. His world is based very closely on that of Medieval England circa War Of the Roses. Therefore the panoramic scope that SE strives for was never GRRMs intention.
The main character count is actually 10+ ( each with their own chapter headings ). Also his supporting cast now runs into hundreds. Have you seen the extended family tree and allies list at the beginning of the books. To keep account of al those characters and allegiances is a mind boggling task.
He's still a lazy sod tho'.

Have you all read the short story he wrote called "The Hedge Knight" for the Fantasy Compilation? Me thinketh he should do more of them while we wait for Feast of Crows, which, I might add, I am very much looking forward to. Wouldn't you much rather have the grit of Martin than the repetitive money-making, endless, sicophantic flowery nonsense of Jordan?(Deep breath, cool wet grass.)

I've read 'Hedge Knights' while i read 'Legends' (btw. you cannot miss theses short stories if u are a fan of any of the authors who wrote in it. Ursula K. Leguin's story was especially good). I think, other than 'Fevre Dream', 'Hedge Knight' is Martin's best work...and definitely the best set in aSoIaF universe...

I don't think you should disregard any opinion, after all, one of them may be your own after you read it. If the majority says to go for it, then you should give it a try. And if somebody you have taken advice from before and it turned out right, you should give his/her opinion a slighty larger weight.
I'd say: try them out. Nobody I gave them to for reading has been dissapointed, even one person who didn't like GotM (I have to push him for another try though :-).

Time will tell. If it does than I will be more than happy to admit I am wrong as I do love the series. But a four year wait for a book that has neither a beginning nor an ending is absurd in my mind. Erikson has pumped out four quality books since aSoS was released for crying out loud.

@Monk.I think you can just put that down to a publishers error.
