I really liked his Wheel of Time books back when I was in high school, although they got a little too intricate and verbose for me around book 8, but you have to give the man respect for coming up with something on the scale of Tolkien times, like, three or so.| Promote this thread! |           | rinberg

You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyways.-- Robert Jordan (1948-2007), The Wheel Of Time | ScreamingHeadGuy

I found his Wheel of Time novels to be very entertaining, and will miss the story.
In the greater scheme of things, though, I'm sure what he wrote doesn't matter as much as the people he touched in his life.
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time,
add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee

He's told the story of the final book to his wife. I selfishly hope that it will see print one day. But that's not important right now. |
