diservern, welcome to the Downs– that is, if you're not a new type of spambot that actually reads books, which would certainly be an interesting development.

I ask because... well, why are you getting so riled up over such an ancient thread? Most of those people aren't even around to reply.

–Myself, I rather like the Wheel of Time series, at least the earlier books. After that, as other posters have already complained, it does get tied up with trivial details and minor subplots, so that one begins to suspect the author's written himself into a corner with the main plot and is now just stalling. (Supposedly, though, Jordan did work out an ending before he died.)
