I can never guess what Rand's going to do next.
I'm three quarters done with FoH and I've noticed RJ hasn't taken us back to the Two Rivers yet. And Nynaeve is getting kinda wierd.

Get used to leaving parts of the plot behind. Mat gets forgotten entirely in Lord of Chaos.

I've noticed he does that. For example, Min was forgotten after being sent back to the Tower in DR. I think he does that to make you keep reading the suspense factor

Yeah...
What did you think of that little Rand/Aviendha scene in the middle of Fires of Heaven? (And now you know why I remembered the name Aviendha)

And yes I see why you remember the name Aviendha. And I'm gonna keep the rest of that comment to myself.

Do I really want to know?
But yes, I was fairly, well, shocked when I read that scene. I was like: "Hold on...what just happened here???" Yes...it gets even better by Book 9 or so...

Hey, congrats! Everyone's anxiously awaiting the 12th book, although they're even more anxiously hoping that RJ will recover from his blood disease.
So, b.banner, do you ever feel like giving Rand a hand now and then? (Pay no heed, Acally )

It's a spoiler, of sorts.

If he lives to finish them, it'll be awesome! I think there's supposed to be one about Tam fighting in the Aiel War, and one about Lan and Mori's journey to the Two Rivers.

Yep, that's what it sounds like. That would be really cool.
How far along are you in FoH?

Nynaeve and Elayne are in Salidar, back to being Accepted. Chapter 50, I think.

So you're almost done! Tell me what you think of the last few chapters. They've got the most-quoted line in WoT.
