Hello!!!


My name is SnowGoose, it is the name of a ship few of our favourite characters boarded. Currently I am reading that book (The Dragon Reborn) so the name was stuck in my head.
My favourite character has to be Lioal, because he is doing exactly what I am doing, which is more or less being a passive observer, helping out here and there but mostly keeping to himself and taking notes and reading really thick books.
I found TarValon.net website at the back cover of the paperback edition of the Wheel of time.
There are other websites too, I will look at them as well. But for the time being this place is my home.
By trade I am an Engineer and its really boring stuff, but it pays the bills.
I am from India, so I guess I won't be able to take part in various meet-ups you guys have, but I will be with you in spirit! Besides English, I can speak Hindi.
I really love the Harry Potter series, though I haven't been able to finish the entire series. You see the movies were coming out way to quickly and I couldn't avoid it. Now I just need to wait for sometime so I could forget most of the story, before I pickup that series again.

In my spare time I enjoy watching movies, reading epic fantasy novels, tinkering with electronics/gadgets. Every now and then I have been known to indulge in fine single malts and cigars.

So please go ahead and send me a message, I would really to talk to anyone here. If I don't reply right away It means I am occupied otherwise, but as soon as I get some time I will respond.

I am looking forward to getting to know you guys and have nice back and forth about the WoT.

Regards,
SnowGoose

A hundred thousand welcomes!

I do like good whisky! I have been curious about the single malts coming out of India but have not yet tried one. Any recommendations? I tend to like heavily peated varieties.

Hi Michael,

My favourite movie is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine, I don't confess this usually but what the heck!!!
Its Ocean's Eleven.

hi Leala,

Yes this is the first time I am reading the series and I have taken necessary measures to keep me motivated throughout the journey of 14 books.
I have subscribed to relevant subreddit, followed appropriate hashtags online. And last but not the least found this wonderful site.

Welcome to TarValon, SnowGoose! :D
How long have you been a fan of The Wheel of Time?
Hi Adanys,

It will be 1 year exactly in a few weeks since I picked up a physical copy, However I had known of this epic saga for about 4 years now, then I tried to read it on digital format, but I soon realised that I lack the constitution for such an endeavour. Hence waited till I could score a nice deal on some paperbacks. And now I am not looking back.

That's exciting! You're going to love it. :pleased-1: Makes me wonder what my reading experience would have been like if social media were a thing when I started reading it in 2001. :laugh:

Welcome, Snowgoose! You seem to be settling in already :)

Hi Michael,

Its Ocean's Eleven.
I am a big fan of Ocean's Eleven. I love heist flicks and I love George Clooney, and the two together is a magical combination.
