Book Corner with PoliBlogger

I am reading the tenth book in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, Crossroads of Twilight. I have really enjoyed the series, but I don't think I have read a book recently where after 400 pages one feels as if not all that much has happened. Indeed, the book feels like a "I've got a contract obligation to fill" book, and one begins to wonder if Jordan knows where the story is going. Having read between 6,000 and 7,000 pages with the promise of a major battle for the ages between good and evil to conclude the series, I sure as High Heck hope he plans to actually finish the thing at some point!

I will say that I am glad I found the series late in its existence--I was able to read the first nine books pretty much all at once. I would hated to have been at this waiting game for over a decade!

Meanwhile, here's hoping George R.R. Martin is close to finishing the next tome in the Songs of Fire and Ice series!
