Wheel of Time? Wheel of Time? You're comparing the World's First Fantasy Soap Opera, complete with seven thousand major characters, all with their own mental problems, to Tolkien? Sheesh...

Seriously, don't let me get started on Jordan. I have been known to stand and argue about Wheel of Time for three hours straight. However, I have also read all the books as soon as they come out. Why? Uh, because Perrin is cool?

LOL, I guess that may be the reason I like it so much. In the LOTR and The Hobbit, I always seemed detached from the characters. In the WOT, I really like the "soap opera, complete with seven thousand characters, all with mental problems." :-)

If you like to argue for three hours over the WOT, you'll get no arguement from me. :-) Perrin, not Mat? LOL Perrin is my least favorite of the three.

I'm with you. Jordan to me is little more than bad Tolkien. Not as bad as Edding (has that man EVER written anything that wasn't a direct rip of LOTR?) but still a vastly overrated and under imaginative author.
