It’s the tragedy of the commons! If a few people wait until all the books are out, it’s fine. If we all did that, we’d never get the books.

I think the same thing every time people complain about stuff they haven’t yet watched being cancelled on Netflix. If you don’t want it cancelled, then watch it! If it does end up getting cancelled, you will survive.

Like I’m also mad GRRM hasn’t finished ASOIAF yet, but I’ve still gotten so much enjoyment out of what I did read and I will survive if I never get to read another page from that series again.

Also, that “meantime” can be really fun if there’s a community of people all waiting for the next book and speculating about what’s coming. I caught up to Harry Potter after the fourth book was out, and the fun of waiting for each of the last three books (and all the convos I had about the book!) made me love them even more when they came out.

The original Martin Luther isn’t necessarily someone we like… unless you’re Lutheran I suppose. He’s just a historical figure. How is going “oh interesting that MLK was named after him” glorifying the dude?
