Robert Jordan dead

Did anyone else read the Wheel of Time series? I kept reading, even when the quality suffered a massive dropoff. It's a shame he'll never finish it, and that a talented writer, despite his excesses, is gone.

wh... what!?
The page isn't loading for me but this comes as a shock... Some of my friends were just starting to read the Wheel of Time. I read it all 10+ years ago and stopped about book 9 or so.

It was a great world he created, it is a shame it will never be finished. (Until later on when someone can cash in on it)

Yeah, it's a real shame. Apparently he had the last book about quarter-halfie finished. Hopefully his wife or someone can cobble together enough of his notes that someone like George R.R. Martin or Jacqueline Carey can just sketch out a decent ending.

George R.R. Martin's got a rather heartfelt tribute here:

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........

I was always afraid this was going to happen... he'd not be a well man for a while now and I think people knew, deep down, that he sadly, wasn't long for this world.

RIP RJ.
