I...Man, I can't believe it all started so long ago! I remember browsing the sci-fi/fantasy shelves at Nicholson Memorial Library in Garland and picking up The Eye of the World (way back when that was the only book) because it had an interesting cover. I really enjoyed it, and even though I've criticized most of the later books for excessive length and verbiage, I still like the series.<BR/><BR/>I actually knew of Jordan before that because of his work writing some Conan books, but his legacy will be The Wheel of Time, a fantasy world that has won millions of readers in an already crowded market place and provides something substantial for those of us who want something a bit more adult than Harry Potter. <BR/><BR/>As always, when the world loses a great author, there's one less voice telling us stories that teach us about ourselves. Hopefully, Robert Jordan will be gone, but not forgotten for a long, long time.Nat-Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378831467642601979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705460.post-50327269746547686452007-09-18T09:06:00.000-05:002007-09-18T09:06:00.000-05:00I have been waiting for that bookfor a long time. ...I have been waiting for that book<BR/>for a long time.
