I'm not really a huge fiction reader to begin with darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 09/10/2012 11:25:34 PM
But over the last year or so I've picked up a few Fantasy novels out of curiosity. RJ is certainly a better story teller than most of what I've seen out there, even though he rambles. I'm going to re-read GRRM this winter after AMOL ... I read the first 3 books of his series years ago and enjoyed it, but got lost after his huge gaps between books. My gut tells me GRRM will end up being the better series in most ways. But WOT will always be my favorite fantasy series... If only for sentimentality sake.

So when the book/series ends, what will it have all meant? Larry - 08/10/2012 09:47:49 PM 2220 Views
Years of enjoyment. What else do you expect from fiction? Marshall - 08/10/2012 10:17:30 PM 1176 Views
I expect a lot from fiction, to be honest Larry - 09/10/2012 02:43:59 AM 1222 Views

Not sure I'd call it mindless darius_sedai - 09/10/2012 02:53:00 AM 1088 Views
Well, it is a bit more complex than a D&D novel Larry - 09/10/2012 02:55:40 AM 1104 Views

I've noticed that quite a few here/wotmania have not been big fiction (fantasy) readers Larry - 11/10/2012 05:48:02 AM 1124 Views

Well... it's a bit late in the game... DomA - 09/10/2012 02:04:16 AM 1313 Views
True, but it's never too late to ask people such questions Larry - 09/10/2012 02:49:28 AM 1011 Views
I'm not sure... DomA - 09/10/2012 06:03:08 AM 1030 Views

I am now visualizing WoT as a telenovela adaptation Larry - 09/10/2012 06:59:11 PM 989 Views
everything about Lanfear screams TeleNovela! darius_sedai - 11/10/2012 04:38:03 AM 938 Views
Por ella, soy Luisa Therin? Larry - 11/10/2012 05:44:32 AM 1030 Views
All of the names would have to be longer and more pompous Tom - 11/10/2012 03:54:30 PM 854 Views
Not in this particular telenovela adaptation Larry - 11/10/2012 05:48:06 PM 1261 Views
It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Tom - 09/10/2012 02:21:20 PM 1091 Views
It also has Faulknerian allusions Larry - 09/10/2012 07:04:55 PM 1106 Views
BTW, did you see the Folio Society's color-coded The Sound and the Fury? Tom - 10/10/2012 08:06:18 PM 1318 Views

The One Power doesn't seem that unique or innovative to me. Tom - 11/10/2012 04:05:06 PM 969 Views
No, but I'll keep it in mind for the future when I have more money to spare Larry - 11/10/2012 05:49:52 AM 909 Views
It sold out fast. They might reprint it, though. Tom - 11/10/2012 03:45:20 PM 894 Views
Hopefully, that or it won't be more than $200 when I do have the money to spare Larry - 11/10/2012 05:53:20 PM 1154 Views

For me, yes. Macharius - 11/10/2012 07:45:25 PM 897 Views
I would think for most the money spent wasn't too bad Larry - 11/10/2012 08:07:49 PM 1257 Views
I got my money's worth, oh yes. MightyYT - 12/10/2012 07:59:58 PM 1040 Views
I'm not sure it means anything. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/10/2012 08:10:45 PM 1115 Views
