I get that but consider: The Hobbit came out in 1937. It didn't get any kind of screen adaptation until the Rankin-Bass cartoon in 1978. It still, in all that time, never went out of print and remained hugely popular. LOTR came out in the early-mid 50s, same deal - international best-seller for decades, translated into dozens of languages, long before it had any screen adaptations at all. The movies is still rewatched often, and the books are still selling, and there's going to be a new Amazon series (based in the Second Age, it seems, thousands of years before the events of LOTR).

It's not the hot new thing anymore, but in the 84 years since the first book in that world was published, there was never a time when they weren't being read. Will GRRM have that kind of staying power? Way too soon to tell. It would help if the show ending wasn't terrible, or if the book series had an ending at all.

This isn't me being partisan - I actually love both - but I do think Tolkien's influence is much deeper than Martin's and will almost certainly outlast it.
