BTW, did you see the Folio Society's color-coded The Sound and the Fury?

It was apparently Faulkner's desire to color-code the text based on the time, so Folio went and did it.
On the relative merit of Wheel of Time, it is obviously more complex than a D&D adventure. I might argue that the world building was very poorly executed (from the Tolkienesque shape of Randland to the absolutely abysmal Old Tongue and universal "modern" tongue), but the storytelling was generally good, at least for the first six books.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
