He'd certainly be an interesting person to hang out with, though, and while I wouldn't dice with him, it'd be fun to meet him. And no worries on spoilers--I haven't read any of the last 3, and am assiduously avoiding them myself!Rebekkah Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06684711663696588263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748832844228334272.post-50839120157433431232013-03-12T02:37:15.190-04:002013-03-12T02:37:15.190-04:00About halfway through AMoL (no, I don't know h...About halfway through AMoL (no, I don't know how it ends and I refuse to read any spoilers), the character Matt struck me as the most interesting. <br /><br />His sacrifices, when rescuing Moriane or in marrying Tuon :) his take on life... in a nutshell, he's someone I'm happy to toss back a few jars of Oosquai with!Young Wertherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425738709559520380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4748832844228334272.post-91311621393186149132013-03-11T12:26:15.294-04:002013-03-11T12:26:15.294-04:00I've been thinking lately about partaking in t...I've been thinking lately about partaking in that long, epic journey myself, and may very well do so before the end of the year. But my, is it intimidating to look at a giant stack of books by one author (mostly) and say "I'm going to read all of those, and nothing else, for the next X number of months." <br /><br />I'm actually doing that right now with the Dark Tower books. Before starting, I set out to read not just the main books in the series, but all of King's books that have some tertiary relationship to the series as well. And there are A LOT. I did a lot of research on the "proper" reading order and dove in. Five books in (and only two books into the main series itself), I had to take a break and read some comic books. I'm enjoying the series, but I didn't realize how much I appreciate a change in author voice every couple of books.<br /><br />I still intend to tackle the Wheel of Time this way, but I think I'm going to plan steady breaks throughout. :PAuthorAldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905712756325750291noreply@blogger.com
