    I feel so guilty being glad that the series may finally have an ending. eek. but, yay.
    Still sad he’s gone.

    That’s awful, I started reading the series last year and I’m alread so connected to all the characters in Robert Jordan’s world. But I think in stead of morning his death we should celebrate his life. So to Robert Jordan, bravo and thank you for every book, paragraph, and sentance.

    “I depart as airโ€”
    I shake my white locks at the runaway sun;
    I effuse my flesh in eddies,
    and drift it in lacy jags.
    I bequeathe myself to the dirt,
    to grow from the grass I love;
    If you want me again,
    look for me under your boot-soles.
    You will hardly know who I am,
    or what I mean;
    But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood.
    Failing to fetch me at first,
    keep encouraged;
    Missing me one place,
    search another;
    I stop somewhere,
    waiting for you.”

    Walt Whitman

      I had a friend introduce me to The Wheel of Time back when I was in college. He gave me the first book for my birthday and I left it sitting on my shelf for a few years before I read it. I got hooked pretty fast and zoomed through the first four books. I got bogged down in the fifth one and then things picked up until I got to book 8. I never did finish that one so I haven’t read the ones that came next. I appreciate what he was trying to do but he just had too many characters he was trying to juggle between. I may have to give the books another try here in a bit, especially if the book he was working on when he died is truly the end of the series.

      I have to say I like the soundtrack for the series that my husband and I found better than some of the books.

      Teehee, the sountrack is ridiculous. ๐Ÿ˜† It’s like rock ‘n’ roll trying to be an epic ballad.

        That actually sounds really good. I love rock ballads. Queen The Who’s tommy, the kinks Lola, stuff like that.

        I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~

            Yup yup. I don’t remember where my hubby and I picked it up, but you can get it from amazon.com.

            Wow…that sucks! ๐Ÿ™

            I knew it was coming…but still sad…I stopped on his 5th book, but will pick up again…

            I think it’s kinda beautiful that he didn’t want anyone else corrupting his world….
