After some catching up, I found out that Robert Jordan passed away last night.
It's been a while since I've read Wheel of Time, and haven't been involved in the fandom, but I did like the books. Now, I know many people did not care for his books, and for the matter I have many issues with them as well. His books weren't the most spectacular stories I've ever, but they were very important to me in that they were the first books that got me reading novels. If not for those books, I probably would not be spending chunks of my time searching through bookstores, raiding libraries and trying to fit more books into my over-packed bookshelf.
So despite all the faults in his writing, I did enjoy his works and am sad to see him go.
