Or as Tim McGraw says: "Live like you were dying"
That is terrible that he has a rare blood disease. He has achieved immotality with the Wheel of Time Series. I found the prequel at the libary the other day and now i can't remember the name of the book. It was something about spring. It takes place 20 years before Eye of the World.

That would be New Spring (Wow...I've memorized the names of all of his books-I even know that he wrote the Fallon Blood trilogy, which is a modern war trilogy...)
I haven't read it yet. I probably will, once I'm done with KoD.

Mmm...just about.
Actually, I just decided to memorize the names of the books, because they were on the back of all the softcover books, and I thought it might be cool to know all the titles. Memorizing the title New Spring was a logical leap, and then I noticed the Fallon books-although I've never read either of those.

A friend of mine who hasn't read WoT was telling me about New Spring. She's read it as thought it was good.

I've read the New Spring. It's of interest as background information for the rest of the series. I'm surprised that someone who hasn't read the Wheel of Time books would like it. In my opinion, a lot of it doesn't really make sense unless you've read some of the books.

I started Shadow Rising thursday
I think I now know why Curub has an obsession with balefire. That's one powerful "weapon"

You betcha! What did you think of the opening battle?
Yay! I'm finally starting Crown of Swords! And what a sequence of events...I'm not even out of the prologue, and something's already happened!

Balefire!!!
Balefire! Balefire! Balefire! Balefire! (ad infinitum )
Can you tell I just finished Crown of Swords? The last duel was awesome...especially with Rand and the old guy in SL... Balefire! Balefire! Balefire!...

lol. I am sooooo glad you can't channel, Curub.
Has anyone, Male and female, ever wished you could channel?

Lots of times. Man, that would be so awesome! Especially gateways, so I can stop biking to school. And I mean, no one would ever try to crap me, if I could throw them around for 30 minutes, upside down!

It would be cool if I could actually do that. Ahh, if I could weave a gateway, I'd never ever need to buy an airplane ticket! Just get someone to take lots and lots of pictures of one certain spot overseas...or I could Skim. And then that stuff in the beginning of Shadow Rising-sweet! (Update: I made a record-I finished Path of Daggers in two days!)

No, I just spend insane amounts of solid time just reading. My friend supplied me with Winter's Heart and Crossroads of Twilight. I want to read them both before Monday. Then I can be all set to read Knife of Dreams!!!

Path of Daggers... There you have the most boring, and idiotic book in the whole series. I was so Frustrated at the end, when Rand screw it up like that. I can't even remember something else than Rand wanting to get Callandor so he could kick some Seanchan ass, but noooo, he goes killing his own army. And the book was 800 pages or something...
Thats a nice achivement though
