I will take an optionnal year between my forth and my fifth (last) year, but I still don't know where (I'd like to go to Australia).

Anyway, I didn't ask for news about Robert Jordan. Does someone know if he's getting better?

Damn you all, I've been trying to get these books from the library for the past six months!

I tried to start with the only available once (book eight), but I didn't have any clue about anything, and quit about 150 pages in sad.gif.

Meh, time to just buy the damn things, eh?

yes, buying them is a good idea, especially if you have around 200 dollars availabe smile.gif. Seriously though, however you get them, it is a worthwhile read tongue.gif.

Depends how fast you read, i could easily go through 4 of them in a week even if i'm pretty busy that week.

Speed reading WoT isn't something I'd recommend, and I've tried it as well. You get the plot and all the major currents of the story. You don't get anything else tongue.gif. Well that's true for me at least.

Yeah, it is very much an average evil series of books wink.gif.

It is a medieval fantasy fiction series of about 13 books (including prequels) which have yet to be finished and will ultimately (hopefully) culminate into one of the best fictional epics ever written (well, hopefully being the operative word).

Try reading it. Especially if you're into diablo2 and magic/battles etc...

I finally got hold of the first book, read it in two days, and I'm actually going through withdrawals of not being able to read the next immediately.

These books are AMAZING.

Read them, or suffer.
