Robert Jordan fans celebrate The Wheel of Time

[Lordi465]

i bet that jennifer liang women went to her car after this to go home and the wheels for her car were gone and then she just hears her mother just like "you should have kept your mouth shut, your not going anywhere.........."

[JARHuygebaert]

I always wanted to read The Wheel of Time series, but I never did it until a few weeks ago. Im reading book five now and love it!

[16Canadian]

i was just reading up on the gathering storm, as well as the wiki for the series. im wondering, what the hell the deal is with the dragon sword??? apparently from rand's own memories but only recently unearthed. wtf can someone explain please?

[ichinarusuke]

@16Canadian Not sure, but I believe Rand saw it in The Great Hunt when the Heroes of the Horn were summoned. Again though, not sure.

[Ameican87eagle]

Robert jordan i think was Rand in another time. Not many books intrest me but the Eye of the world book first got me hooked many long late nights reading once you start reading these books you can't stop bummer Jordan couldn't finish the last and final book. But the one thing about his books he leaves you hints about what will happen later in the next books it's like i knew what was gona hapen before i read it.  When you read these books you almost feel like your in the story great books to read

[nardsword]

screw jordan 4 dying and leaving us with Sanderson!! ON a sidenote there is a striking similarity between ff9 main character and mat down to the weapon and stealing a princess that was running away anyway.

[MrShoeWC3]

Wish I had the money to buy all the books :(

[jinfuuu]

Anyone a hardcore fan of Robert Jordan?

[aussierossi]

No greater series then Wheel of Time! Jordan was a master! when you read back over the books you see how subtle he was at giving hints at what will, or may come! It amazes me one man set this up! And sadly could not finish his epic work!

[JerridPayne]

@aussierossi Expand your literary horizons. Wheel of Time is absolutely juvenile when you get out there.

[a1ethioS]

@JerridPayne It has its faults to be sure. The writing can be slow, the interactions between the characters could certainly be deeper. At the same time, I've yet to come across a book or series that provides such an expansive metaphorical framework through which to understand the world. In many respects, it's an encyclopedia about our world. Are they the best books of all time? Not by a long way. To dismiss it as juvenile however seems to merely indicate the depth to which you read.

[thrashordie11]

i just started "eye of the world" im on page 71 right now as im typing this. i jsut wanted t see what other ppl thought about the series.

[Brandz771]

I was once you , the person on Eye of the World ....Hurry up , it's great , and don't forget not to look anything up on the internet pertaining to WOT until you have read everything !

[ImWatchinTheTube]

@thrashordie11 GET OFF THE INTERNET!!!!! People will accidentally give things away to you!

My favoritest of book series (and I took "favoritest" from LOTR, so I am a reader).

[Bobaganush26]

Just got finished reading the gathering storm, and I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHO MESANA IS IN THE WHITE TOWER, messana is LARAS the cook! Wait and see

[canoobis]

NICE! I totally agree, I've been telling people that laras is Mesana since CoT.

[nakenmil]

I'm refusing to read tGS until I've reread the entire series. I finished tEoTW today. But damn it, that's how we WoT-fans roll! Nothing half-assed! :-P

[yay1001]

LOL, well I remember i started reading his books in 6th grade and read one book a week. Anyways honestly, if you re read book 11, you'll probably remember most of the other books since it refers to a lot of things from previous books (I remember I was rereading book 11 and I couldn't remember the names of characters, but by the end I was just as addicted to the series as the first time I ever read tEoTW).

[ImWatchinTheTube]

@nakenmil I'm doing the same thing :)

[TumbleDumpling]

@nakenmil Yeah, I did it too. There is way too much content to pretend to remember.

[TheVishveshwara]

It would be interesting to collect stories from fans similar to this, perhaps also showing the effect it has had on our lives. I have re-read the series from the beginning each time a new book has come out, but might have to make an exception to the last two books and only read TGS. Too impatient for the ending.

[RoadWarrior008]

My mom used to punish me by taking away my books as well. I first read Eye of the World when I was about 14, I've more or less read the entire series 3 times (as the books were coming out) and am just finishing up on the 4th (my recap before the new one comes out) but on audio book. I highly recommend listening to it at least once!

[JuryDutySummons]

@RoadWarrior008 I agree very much. The voice acting in the audio version is excellent.

[varazir]

Hmm why can't I post a link here :( Well I would say the best cover is the one used on the firs swedish book "Farornas väg"

[SharingMyStory]

I totally identify with Jennifer's comment - my mom's standard punishment when I misbehaved was to send me to my room without ANY of my books. It was horrible. :)

I've been reading the WoT since the mid-90s and I am so looking forward to reading the last three books in the series. I loved hearing from all of you, especially since I read most of your blogs already. :)

[LMELFELDE]

Lol, my mother did the same to me! Except I found them again moving house a couple of years ago... right after I'd rebought them. Lol! Now I have one set for myself and one to loan out.

[kdeanyt]

She knows NOW Jenn!
