Robert Jordan dies; nerds weep
Robert Jordan died today. Who cares (outside his immediate family and friends)? No one should. If you’re still reading Wheel Of Time and are enthralled by it, you should reevaluate your life.
I’ve read the first part and attempted to read the second. Now, according to nerd lore it doesn’t get bad until around the seventh book. I couldn’t wade through the second.
Wheel Of Time was just a piece of crap series and now it won’t be finished. I won’t shed a tear. Far too many stories worth telling have been left unfinished (Hello, Twin Peaks?) for me to worry about Tolkien-wannabe adolescent power fantasy.
Give me a ring when Stephen King dies, now there’s a popular author who I will miss.
