Thank you Shai'tan : )

interesting choice of nic you have there ... anyway, have finished book 3, and waiting for a friend to finish book 4 ... and you're quite right! book 3 was a wild ride! really enjoyed it!

find it just amazing that jordan has (pressumedly, as i've not read the other 5, but know people who have and they all agree they're fantastic) been able to sustain the story to such a high level for 8 novels of considerable size! it speaks well of him as a writer, don't you think?

would love to see these books turned into film - on the one hand; it probably wouldn't be practical, and a part of me is afraid these marvelous stories would suffer in the transition from page/imagination to cgi/celluloid ...

can i assume then you have finished book 8? do you know if it is the final one, or will there be others?

and as it seems you have a good eye for a well told tale, i'd be interested in other titles you would suggest as worthwhile reading.

thanks Shai'tan
