Re: What Are You Reading?

I am rereading "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. SciFi, ride or die!! haha. i know im a loser. here's the link:

Amazon.com: The Wheel of Time (Boxed Set #1): Robert Jordan: Books

An epic tale. A little more refined and mature than Tolkien. I always enjoy a cast of characters being taken out of their element, and shown that they can be bigger and more important than they ever thought they would have been.

I've read through that series three times starting in 1992. It sucks that Jordan died before he could finish it.

Here's another good book that has multi-perspective elements: A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. it's a little more graphic and harsher than The Wheel of Time but a great story nevertheless.

The final book will be completed next year by another author with Jordan's notes. Here is the link:
