For the creator of a book series best known for its surprising deaths, George RR Martin certainly does not like talking about the prospect his own.
Fans of the Game of Thrones series have been concerned that the novelist may die before his books are finished.

"I find that question pretty offensive, frankly, when people start speculating on my death and my health," Martin told the reporter from Tagesanzeiger.
"So f--- you to those people."
Martin flashed his middle finger to the interviewer as he answered the question.
Seems to us that Martin still has plenty of life inside him.
