Anyone heard specific info on when the next book is coming out??

[edit]
1. Answered my own question -- April '03
Oh, and Dragon Magazine #305 supposedly has a novella-length excerpt from the new book centered around House Greyjoy.
2. Attalus, here are some reviews, and they even mention how it takes a bit to get into it:

I love this from the second review:

Unfortunately, I find that I am too often forced to judge fantasy novels by a lower standard than I judge other books. The truth is that there just are not that many good fantasy writers. But Martin's book is not just a great fantasy novel. It's a great novel period, and I recommend it to everyone... with a caveat. The violence - particularly violence against women and children - is graphic and very disturbing. A Game of Thrones is far from a kid's fairy tale. It harshly shows the ugly side of magic kingdoms, and, not surprisingly, it is not pretty.
