Yes, finally someone else has noticed that there are so many similar things between Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings books like in the beginning (this is from the Fellowship of the Ring)

The Wheel of time turns and Ages come and pass leaving memories that become legend then fade to myth and are long forgotten...

To me it sounds like P.J was taking a bit from that, but I do not know.

I would also like to agree with who ever said most modern fantasy books a lot like Tolkiens books, one thing I have noticed is that in a lot of older fantasy books dwarves and Elves did not exist in the same story, but after Tolkien Elves and dwarves are springing up all over the place being bitter enemies..... That is all I have to say
