Sorry, but nothing is going to stop me from taking pot-shots at Jordan. You may ask what the point is, or insist that until I understand every element of the author's life and efforts, I won't be able to fully comprehend his/her work or base any opinions on it. I suppose that the same could be said for the rave reviews we all give Martin for his work. Perhaps because we don't know everything there is to know about his trials and tribulations, we're not giving him his due. Who cares? The point of this dicussion board is to discuss books and writers. If we can't do that without being chastised, then there's no point in logging on.
Personally, the only reason I keep coming back to this is because you people are the only ones who truly understand what it's like to pick up a book and become completely immersed in it. And that goes for Jordan's work, too. I was immersed and tore through the first three. Then again, I had just graduated from college, was living at home in a small town with my parents, and didn't have a job at the time... I will thank Jordan for his fourth and following books for getting me out of the house and onto the job search with the fervor I needed. |
