You know, sometimes things happen that make me positively giddy with excitement. Today, when I learned that Robert Jordan's last book Memory of Light was going to be finished, filled me with glee. You know, back in September, I despaired that this series would ever be finished, and we'd never learn what happened to the characters that were so important to all of us. I'll be the first to admit that Wheel of Time was one of the first fantasy series beside Lord of the Rings that I read when I was a lot younger. But we have a new author, Brandon Sanderson,picked by Harriet herself.

My only problem with the man is that I haven't read anything by him yet. I've seen them on the bookshelves, but I never got around to picking them up, even amongst rave reviews. Needless to say, once finals are over, this guy is going to the bookstore and getting the three novels he's published so far.

I'm not too worried though, since Harriet (RJ's wife, for those who don't know) picked him herself. Harriet, besides being married to the man, was also the editor for all 11 novels. Not to mention she still has all of RJ's notes, which by all accounts are fairly extensive.

Back to studying. Bah.
