Game of ThronesTwas beauty killed the beast, and twas George R.R. Martin who finally finished writing his Kong, "A Dance With Dragons."

Those of you keeping track should know that Martin announced the release date for the fifth, long-awaited (and we mean long awaited, as in since 2005) installment of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series -- currently being adapted and airing on HBO as "Game of Thrones" -- last month, but today he wrote on his website that the beast of a novel he's worked on for six years is finally complete. Is it July 15 yet?

But like I said, what I don't know about Ayn Rand could fill a library. So why do I care enough to plug those holes in my knowledge? Well, because one, you never want to be ignorant.
