Ramblings of a mental patient

It seems like the only thing to motivate me to post these days is death.

Yesterday an author of a series I’ve been reading since 1990 passed away. Robert Jordan was working on the 12th and final book in his Wheel of Time series. The series is a tale reminiscent of Lord of the Rings. The books over the years have varied in quality. They’ve been wonderful, rich stories and they’ve dragged on dwelling on minutia in a manner that would make Anne Rice proud.

Regardless of the vagaries, over the years I’ve looked forward to reading the next book in the series. Even during the dull bits (books 7-9) I still found aspects of the tale that I enjoyed. His last book in the series was due out next year. I’m hoping that there is enough in his notes/work that someone can finish the tale in a way that does justice to the series.
