On the extraneous detail, I think he kinda set out to write a looong story as part of his mission. I agree, the books are a bit of a drag. But I'll the thing that saves them is the numerous characters. The story would be boring if you had to read about the same 3 people the whole time. The only thing that keeps me reading on when I get tired of his style is the hope that the next chapter is on one of the guys I like - or I keep reading till I get to that character again to see what happened.

I haven't read New Springs yet, don't think I will, but I can't wait for the story to finish. I wish Jordan would get on with it!

BTW, who's your favourite character(s)? Mine's Egwene & Perrin.
