Although I’ve known it was coming, the news still happens to shock me. I have been reading his Wheel of Time fantasy series for at least ten years now. Reading one book and waiting axiously a year or more for the next to be published. His stories have taken me away to a world of imagination and magic. They have given me a reprieve from real life when it was needed and a whole new universe to explore. His worlds were as detailed and intricate as Tolkien’s and as deeply real as Herbert’s.
His expiration brings a little sadness to me, but joy as well as I read the letters of others who feel the same as I do, and as I remember the journeys he took me on with his words. I am truly thankful for his dedication to his art and the mastery with which he executed it.
Mr. Jordan, I cannot wait to share you with my children.

Dude, I had no idea Robert Jordan had passed!
And I had no idea you were a Wheelie too! Cool. I’ve read the series up to half of Winter’s Heart, and haven’t been able to catch up. Hmmm, that book was released in 2000, and my first son was born in early 2001. I think there is a correlation to that!
