I know GRRM work is selling but IMHO RFC is a far better writer than GRRM. I again think it is more the TV series that is fuelling his sales more than his writing.
Although there are minor variants of this, I am reminded of Dorothy Parker's famous quote "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be flung with great force."
I've never burned a book. I have, however, resold quite a few, and returned some to their lenders with almost indecent haste. Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant novels come to mind.

Love that quote. I actually read the whole Thomas Covenant series. It's Jordan's "Wheel of Time" that I cannot stand - too friggen thick!
