Only a few more months before A Memory of Light comes out. I've been reading this story since I was 22. I just finished re-reading Gathering Storm and begin re-reading Towers of Midnight tomorrow. Fuck Tolkien, with his incessant overwritten blather. Fuck George R2 Martin, with his tv-script plot twists and machavelli worshipping undertow of a moral.

HERE is a writer who drives you to be something better than you are.
Here is the blood of heroes.
Jordan's writing is something Robert E. Howard can be proud of.

Wherever, Jordan is, wherever Howard is- I can only one day hope to join them and reminisce.

from The Gathering Storm:

"A short time longer. He only had to keep things balanced a short time longer. Then it could end. And he found that he was beginning to look forward to that end as much as Lews Therin did.
You promised we could die, Lews Therin said between distant sobs.
I did, Rand said. And we will."
