Robert Jordan is dead.
If you can get it to load, it's here:
http://www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/?p=90 "I still have 30 years ahead of me! I intend to beat the doctors' odds!" Yeah, sure, you stupid son of a bitch. LOL... oh well. Edit: in case it doesn't load (I had to try a few times), here's the news post (beware, christian foolishness within):
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Um.
That's. Probably just about the worst news I've heard in a long time. Edit: Actually to be honest though I've been fearing this ever since he announced he was sick, but NOW what's going to happen? Seriously he was one book away from the end. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
How ya doing, buddy? ![]() John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
I found him a more interesting and original read than Tolkien. All that aside, I'm sad he's gone.

I was speaking idiomatically. |
Do you I can't even there are no words faggot What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? ![]() |
I think Jordan's being referred to "bubba" in that post accurately depicts his literary standing.
FELIPE NO |
I think its tragic anytime an author doesn't have an opportunity to complete his life's work. Even if his series degraded over the years into a convoluted mess the last 4 books his contribution to the popularity and mainstreaming of the genre was significant.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

I really liked the first 4 books or so.. then ya, it did drag on a lil to much..
Its sad to lose a life, doesnt matter who it is. RIP Robert, you'll be missed There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]() |
![]() Anyway... I'm just having a hard time feeling that sad over it when I know the guy could have finished the bloody series years ago... but nooo, instead he decided to drag it out needlessly. Bah. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I didn't mind the first 5 books in the Wheel of Time series. But after that the books just degraded into boring walls of text.
But its always sad to see someone die. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I was once given the first book. For every person who says you cannot judge a book by its cover, that is a person who has never examined a Robert Jordan novel.
I read, I think, ten pages before coming to the conclusion that I'd once seen "The Hobbit" on video and that I'd already experienced everything the genre has to offer. In fact, I think Robert Jordan is the very reason I find the entire fantasy genre to be derivative and bland. And now, the Wheel of Time series will never reach its conclusion. Take that, atheists. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

Nah, if there were a God, he'd have let him finish the damn thing, and offed Terry Goodkind instead.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Most amazing jew boots ![]() |
No, I think Goodkind goes first. Though Jordan would have been close behind.

Yeah propped for goodkind death.
Jesus christ, who is that guy related to that his junk gets published on non-vanity? How ya doing, buddy? |
Someone needs to explain the term captive audience to you, Nachos. You clearly don't know what it means.

At least this year will bring a much happier death to the Sword of Truth series which almost mimics the degradation of Robert Jordan's work. Sometimes I wonder if the publishers had a hand on the pace of the series as why would they want a guaranteed cash cow to end too soon. He was churning books out once a year the first 6 books and then it was a couple years and the last two a half a decade. I will say as bad as the writing was near the end it doesn't compare to the hideous artwork on the covers. Those need to be given to the Shadow haha
