R.I.P to my fave author, Robert Jordan, who died Sept 16, at 2:45pm...
He was the author of the most amazing book series I have ever read, and he didn't even get to finish it, though he worked on it until his death. I remember reading about a year ago on the disease that he had, but he seemed so confident about it that everyone thought he was gonna be ok. Well, now he's gone. He's been working 17 years on this series, and right before he completes the last book, the disease gets him. He left notes for people to complete the last book, however it won't be the same. I can't count how many times while reading his works have I thought 'DAMN this is so epic it should be a fucking movie'. Every time I read the Wheel of Time it's like playing a movie in my head. He was most certainly the next Tolkien. Rest in peace man, and know that your books are the only ones I'll read more than twice. All 12 of them.
