The Wheel turns.

Robert Jordan is dead.

I stopped after Book 9. I guess we'll never know how it's supposed to have turned out now.

I'm honestly hoping that they round up his draft and all his notes, which he did have finished, and publish them, without getting someone else to finish it. Book 11 was a huge step up from the previous five or so, and I like to think the end would have been another improvement.

[kamalloy]

That'd be really cool. I think it's also probably the only thing that would motivate me to read Books 10 and 11. I tried starting Book 10 and was unable to make it through the prologue.

Ironically, I think you'd like book 11. It was basically constant action.

Pretty much exactly what I told aquahaute after I found out last night. :\ Book 11 gave me hope again after 8, 9, and 10 had trampled it out of me.

I've read all the WoT books and loved them.

Sad, sad news...

Man, I stopped reading at 5, or 6, or 7, or something, and the last time I tried to figure out which one I'd left off with I couldn't remember; I started to feel like he repeated himself an awful lot. Sad to hear he passed away, though.

Eeek. I stopped after book 5 or 6, realizing by the time 7 came out I'd have to reread the whole thing to remember what happened, and there were already rumors of his impending demise.

Also, we're a bunch of horrid ghouls for being more concerned that we won't be able to finish reading a story than we are about the loss of one more thinking, feeling, sentient mind, forever, from the world.

[kamalloy]

Well, I'd like to see his legacy get completed.

[tsuyokunaritai]

Oh, me too, definitely. I was just talking with some friends about him a few weeks ago, and was getting excited about the 12th and final book, because I would love to finish it. But if I could choose (and I can't), I'd be happy to be left in suspense perpetually to keep him around to write other things.
