heheh yeah the robert jordans do get a bit unfocused in the mid-later books. mostly because so many characters spilt off and take up writing time. they are ok for me though, i read super fast so it isnt too slow for me.

Zoe is a dear friend of mine and Phil's--we were all members of the same forum. It just happened that she was a NaNoer. She's excellent. :)

Whatever for? :unsure:
Seriously though, I respect what he did. I don't like a lot of his books, but he wrote so many... :P
There are decent ones.
Pet Sematary, Rage, Long Walk... The Shining. Those immediately come to mind.
