    I just figured out the eleventh book is coming out in 3 months it seems so if any one else has read it .... i feel sooooo alone they cost $7. People who havnt read the book should try reading them. They are very good science fiction' fantsy books from TOR. the first book is the eye of the world, im sure after the first book youll love them!!!

    I've read the first four books twice, and I never got beyond that point. Normally I like epic fantasy, but Robert Jordan's work leaves something to be desired. You know, like a cohesive plot. And decent storytelling. And a reasonably sized cast of characters. And female characters with distinct personality traits (hair style and clothing colors are not personality traits).

    At some point (namely, once the series is complete) I might pick the series back up and read it again. However, in order to do that I'll need a fairly large chunk of time I could devote to it, and I'd probably end up skipping parts. Since a lot of the story is recap it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Of course, I'll probably also need to create a character relationship chart as things get more and more complicated.
