So, despite my earlier nitpicking, let me say "Thank you, Mr. Jordan", for the many hours of enjoyment, and may you enjoy your long slumber.

The Dragon is No More
Well, after that ridiculously long entry on the merits and flaws of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and after just completing the penultimate novel in that series, I find that Robert Jordan has succumbed to his amyloidosis. This news is saddest, obviously, to his family and friends, but it also hits us readers. Jordan had also planned some prequels to the series once the main sequence had been completed, as well as some smaller side stories, so there's another loss. Some good news is that he apparently sat down with his wife and her cousin (and, presumably, a digital recording device of some sort) last week and explained how every story strand is supposed to resolve.
So, despite my earlier nitpicking, let me say "Thank you, Mr. Jordan", for the many hours of enjoyment, and may you enjoy your long slumber.
