It took me a long time to get off heroin as well.

Sometimes with Jordan it feels like I've invested so much time and money into the Wheel of Time I have to see how it ends. Andif it disappoints me, I'm going to firebomb his house

Well, before Jordan, I'd never stopped reading a fantasy series that I'd started. My wants from fantasy aren't high: I just want escapism with some decent characters and a bit of magic thrown in for kicks. I even stuck with Eddings. It took me quite a while to realise that Jordan's story was so unbearably poor that I didn't actually want to read any more.

Ah, Eddings. He's a one-trick pony.
It's not even a good trick.

I really enjoyed Robin Hobb's books, eventhough I didn't read them in the right order. I've still got that last of the tawny man trilogy to read... when i last checked it wasn't out in paperback here yet.

That's not true. He's got two tricks, it's just that the second one is even worst than the first.
