For you Wheel of Time people....its not ending any time soon, try 3 more books at the least, unless he decides to let loose all hell for 2 really big books. (excuse my language) Yes, I've read all 11 so far, prologues included. For those of you wondering...yes it can be really slow at times, especially at the beginning, but near the last quarter of the book everything goes about 100X faster. Personally, I'd recommend it to those interested, but that's just me.
No books for me lately, too busy working.
Well said. My brother has read all 11 books aswell, and he tells me pretty much the same thing. When it gets boring, wait 'till the last quarter and things really speed up. I'd recommend it, but that's just me aswell....
just bought the paperback of "Knife of Dreams" (Book 11). man, i just started on the prologue & already i've realised how long since i read Book 10 & the rest and how much i've forgotten. had to wait this long to buy Book 11 coz my collection is the normal paperback with black cover & the wheel of time symbol in front (this is the UK version), not the large paperback or the ones with pictures on them (US version) which came out a year earlier i think. had to go back to read the online WOT encyclopedia to remember the characters and the plotline.
what i think of the series? true, it kinda got slow towards the later books. but i find it surprising, for a someone like me who usually doesn't like too much description in a story, i just love the details of WOT. like the epic feel of it and various plotlines. it can got confusing at times & it's far rom perfect, but if it's between loving it or hating it, i love it personally.
official news has quoted Robert Jordan saying that he will definitely end the series with Book 12, even if it has to be >2000 pages. i haven't finished Book 11 yet, but i'm wondering how all the plots can really end with just one more book. Will Tarman Gaidon be in Book 12? i guess we'll just have to wait.
i'm a friggin'
book worm, so it's pretty hard to recommend books coz i love so much. just finished reading "
Teacher Man" by
Frank McCourt which was a really good & funny account of his teacher days. if i had to recommend one book, i'd probably recommend "
What Should I Do With My Life?" by
Po Bronson. the book doesn't really give the answer outright, but by reading the various accounts/stories in the book, u can't help being inspired
