Shrewd to split your series across a century so you could nab two awards! Maybe there was some method to your release schedule after all.

p.s. Don't forget to refer to your career as "millennium-spanning".

For what it's worth, I happen to think that Westeros is far more complex and interesting than Middle Earth, and that your series is infinitely superior to Tolkien's. I get why Tolkien is #1, and that he's the father of modern fantasy, yadda yadda yadda, but I'm never going to go back and reread those books probably (unless I have kids someday and read them with them), whereas I continue to go back to your books time and again.

I also think that you're right on the voting for AGoT as a means of voting for the entire series. I will say that A Storm of Swords is quite possibly my favorite book that I have ever read. Ever. In my life. It is absolutely perfect from start to finish, in my opinion.*

*Even though I threw the book across the room at one point the first time I read it. ;)

yeah well, you're the #1 story teller of all time and if anyone disagrees i will just have to slap them wth a glove.

Old Man's War

I don't get the love for Scalzi's Old Man's War. It was unoriginal, boring, and trite.

That said, you're up there with Tolkien and Zelazny. How cool is that!
