Any Wheel of Time fans out there? I'm totally psyched for the new book. I'm currently re-reading the series and am halfway through Winter's Heart. Anybody else a fan of the series? ***Please no spoilers on the Gathering Storm***

I used to be

read through book 5 or 6 (where they find that bowl that controls the seasons) and then I just gave up. Way too many plot lines, an entire book without Mat, another without Perrin (as I recall) dozens of women that "can out stare an oak tree", no battles for thousands of pages at a time etc. -_-

I worked with a guy one summer who was neighbors with the late Robert Jordan in Carolina. He visited his house once with his father and said there was porn *everywhere*. In retrospect there is a lot of pretty lewd stuff (the S&M relationship with those people on the leashes, rand's "threesome", "sexy" red Aes Sedai); not offensive to me but it certainly explains a lot :P the guy I worked with had never even read any of his books (so I am inclined to believe him).

my brother and his friend tell me the books have been getting very good lately. I just can't bring myself to navigate 10,000 pages of all of it. But I can relate to your excitement for it! it is quite an epic scale that is fun to be immersed into! I think NBC bought the rights to the series - not sure if they could ever do anything with them. It makes LoTR look tiny and encapsulated by comparison.

What? There is a new book coming out?? I have been reading these series for over a decade - I think it is finally going to end when a book comes out and it doesn't. I wonder who wrote the last book? I heard Mrs. Jordan was going to have someone finish the series but that was a few years ago.

Maybe I will re-read the series again so I can refresh my mind before the next book.

And fastcat, I believe you about Mr. Jordan. My sister-in-law met him and said he was a strange dude. May he rest in peace. lol!
