BUT I digress....that was not what I came here to discuss this time out!
I want to ask all and sundry a question! (If you are not a fan of Wheel of Time, please do not use this discussion as an excuse to abuse it to me. I understand that there are people who lose patience with it, but I am not one of those people. I absolutely enjoy it, and am speaking to those of like mind, please and thanks!

I have loved Wheel of Time; some books more than others, but I am well and truly on the hook, and I look forward to knowing how Robert Jordan intended to wrap things up. There is a great deal to wrap up, of course. How irritated I used to get when he would answer a question with "Read and find out." Immeasurably sad that he was taken from us, at all; just rubbing salt in the wound that he never got to finish it himself.
BUT his wife, Harriet, supports Sandersen as being able to do a very creditable job of getting the last book to us. He has all of RJ's copious notes, and tapes, and such, to refer to. And he has a really respectful attitude about what he's been asked to do.
I want to know also....would it help me or hurt me to read some of Sandersen's stuff before I read that last book? I have never read any of his work. No idea if I'd like it or not, although I am an easy mark for an author. What do you think? Read some of his things before, or wait until after?
Lastly - I really wonder about whether he'll be able to strike the same sort of tone as RJ managed to do. What a task to undertake!! I'm in his corner, and I wish him luck, but I don't know....seems like some pretty big shoes to fill!
Discuss!
