i wouldn't go quite so far as to say the best fantasy series since LOTR. the series is very laggy in alot of parts.....path of daggers was an awfule book, and crown of swords was a bit draggy too. it's an real up and down series.....don't get me wrong, i love those books too, but i'd have to give more props to terry goodkinds sword of truth series personaly. Or David Eddings series. But ya, Wheel of Time is the shit. New books coming out soon. http://www.tor.com/jordan/
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came and the grasshopper died and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?

i see that you like the whole "fantasy" topic

what say you of r.a. salvatore and "the dark elf trilogy" ?

driz'zt's the shit man... and breunor battlehammer, omg, he blows that fucker from lotr clear outta the water... wolfgar, big ass mo' fo' and he lived in the dwarven caves - talk about cramps and bloating, lol.
Maybe everything SHOULD be handed to us on a silver platter... that way, when we lose all we have, we can sell the platter to get more shit!

Don't judge me based on your ignorance... Better to be an open sinner than a false saint.

It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not.

oh, i know it's good reading......i've gotten about 200 pages into the first of the dark elf series, but like i said, ever time i start a new book from goodkind, drake, farland, or jordan comes out, which are all established series i'm in the middle off that arn't finished.....so those always take precedent.
