RJ set up such an interesting world and story in books 1-6 that he could have made books 7-10 3000 pages of Conan the Barbarian's poetry and you still would have bought book 11.

And he could have written a 1000 page catalogue of furniture and dresses, had Darrel Sweet draw a midget with crayons on the cover, put a poo scented scratch and sniff on the dedication page, called it book 12 of WoT and you still would have bought it. He knows this and he is still laughing at you.

You are going to read ToM. You know it, I know it, and RJ knows it. And regardless of the hatchet job that ToM is, you are going to read book 14 too.
