Robert Jordan, Author of Wheel of Time, has Died

Quote:
"The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long pass, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning."

It happened mid September and there is a whole series of blogs from friends and relatives at dragonmount...

I loved the series and in true fan-boy style, I'll miss his writing.


There was a quote in the latest Southpark episode, where Kyle was explaining that in many cases the characters in our imagination are far more real and impact our lives in more ways than "real" people do.

i also will miss the writings of this man. i was put on to his "wheel of Time" series quite a few years ago now and even though i still havnt got past the 8th book it was one of the best reads i had . i think i read the first 6 books in a month !!!! .... the first time.... i had to wait for 7 and 8 but my life got sidetracked and i havnt read number 8. I think i will make time as a sign of respect.

I had just looked up info on ancestral memory because of Jack London's writings (especially star rover) and found mention of Jordan's writings. He apparently had something about wolves having a genetic memory. Weird how London wrote about wolves commonly. I have so many books I want to read but this is now on the list.
