Disclaimer: Don't blame me if you want nothing more than to lock yourself in your closet with a flashlight and a stack of books for the foreseeable future. Great books. I can hardly stand to be here long enough to post this because while I am posting this, I could be reading!
Still, somethings need bookish peers to appreciate. I thought this one was one of them... and may I just say:
ouch...
Would you?
If you would and but need some more inspiration: Take a look at this post by LotusReads
Oh, I just love that quote!!
ReplyDeleteThe Wheel of Time is just about my favorite series of all time-- I'm so excited you like it! Isn't it completely absorbing?!
Did you finish book 2 yet? I have about a quarter of book 13 left.
It is taking me longer than usual to finish since life keeps intervening but I read a couple of chapters tonight-- two independent but related battles fought in the dream world-- very touch and go but resolved successfully-- so exciting!
I included several characters from the series in a top ten picks post last spring-- you may not have been reading the blog then-- I don't think there are any spoilers and I'd like to see if you agree-- here is the url if you want to check it out: http://baja-greenawalts-cozybooknook.blogspot.com/2010/04/top-ten-picks-fictional-characters.html
My second post when I started this blog last Jan was about book 12-- don't read it cause there is a spoiler-- but isn't that funny, I began the 2010 with WoT and I'm ending 2010 with WoT!!
Ooh, the Robert Jordan series. I started this a few years back but only got up to book 7 or 8. One day I will go back and read them all again, in fact your reviews will probably inspire me to do so!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy them :)
Lesa: I just finished book two last night, but the weird thing is, I already want to re-read it and actually might. Book two is "driving", meaning everyone is running, and I found myself reading that way.
ReplyDeleteNo spoilers! 13 books?! I swoon. If I find out whats going to happen that might diminish. Such a treat!
Sam: Aren't they good? I absolutely love them. They're
ReplyDeleteeverything you want a good adventure to be. If you do decide for sure to start reading let us know.
Tracy: Yes, some of the books are very 'driving' and some are more 'waiting'-- I love the dynamics of this series.
ReplyDeleteI ran across a cool scifi/fantasy blog recently that has been hosting a WoT bookclub of the whole series all year-- wish I had found it sooner! It would have been fun to reread and discuss all the books.
I loved the first few WOT books but after about maybe book 5 or 6 there were some plot developments that put me off them altogether and I've let them go. But my hubby still reads them and enjoys them. My problem with getting a literary tattoo is which quote to pick? So many to choose from, how could I pick the best :-)
ReplyDeleteCool tattoo. Albeit a bit huge.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Juju. I'd be like Phoebe from the sitcom Friends who went in to get a tattoo and came out with a single black dot. She called it earth, just smaller.
