Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.

A story that ends with death.


The Wheel of Time™ Series

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose.... The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of time.
But it was a beginning."

With this phrase, millions of readers have entered a world strikingly real, rich in detail and complexity—the world of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time.

Since i first heard of the book till today i have read all the books of Wheel of Time series. But i never thought that it would end like this. The book ends taking the life of the author himself taking him to the world beyond. Late ROBERT JORDAN has been an artist who has inspired the men and women all around the globe, to go in to the world of fantasy. Times that i felt down and bored and going crazy, his books gave me light in my darkest hours and in dire times.

His journey to world beyond was 17th of September 2007. And to say that i am a fan is embarrassing because i just knew about his death when i was googling for the new books and updates of WHEEL OF TIME.

Yes he is one great man who gave light to the world when him self was fighting the shadow to the death. A brave man , an inspiring author. May he find shade and water as the aile would say. The world has lost yet another great author.

@ vincinity of obscenity: WOT the movie wud be the most watched movie ever to hold the record that i can gaurantee. and would mean alot to the WOT fans around the glob. lets pray Robert Jordan's family grant the permission. i am sure, for one would by the movie even if its released as the book. 12 moveis would be great with detail. unlike the LORD OF THE RINGS which omited most good parts.

i disagree.. LOTR omitted the gay parts... mostly. there was a LOT of singing in tolkiens books. i dug the awesome battles. thats wat a WOT movie shud be like IMO
