I just really don't read the genre generally, and the few books I've read haven't overwhelmed me, Solaris excepted, though that was really more about philosophy.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

The real annoyance with the WT stuff. Is not knowing if it never meant much, or just died with RJ.

Yeah, but Rand being whiny did give us the best scene in the series, IMHO.

Which simply made her all the more reckless in attempting to NOT be until she wasn't. *NM*
