Re: Wheel of Time Books
Well, first post in a long while, but here goes, anyway.
I`ve read all nine volumes of the Wheel of Time and enjoyed them greatly. Jordan is not a patch on Tolkien, but I think he is a decent storyteller. The problem with WOT is the length of time it is taking for the damn thing to finish. I first read The Eye of the World in 1990, eleven years later and I`m still waiting! I reckon there are at least three more volumes to go, so at Jordan`s current rate of one book every two and a bit years, I`ll have to be patient until 2007.
I used to worry that Jordan would die before he finished the series, now I think I might die before I get the chance to read it.
BTW, Aldaron, you and I seem to be the only people who have ever given David Gemmell a mention here (although I seem to recall BW buying one of his books), but at the risk of repeating myself, I urge anyone looking for new fantasy to read to give him a try.
