Hello! After reading the Wheel of Time series fitfully over the better part of the last decade, I have finally finished the last book and... Wow! Robert Jordan was visionary. Such a detailed world, such well-developed characters. I'm glad I strayed from my typical diet of science fiction to pick up the Eye of the World years ago and so happy to have persevered in reading the series. I am, however, left with a number of questions and look forward to discussing the books with you.
Now, to answer the suggested questions in the stickied thread:
1. My favorite character in the series is Talmanes because he is solid, dependable, educated and well-mannered without being arrogant, and especially because of his wry sense of humor (mine is similar).
2. I found TarValon.net when getting back into the series this summer. The book and character summaries in the Library were quite helpful.
3. I am a graduate student and spend my spare time reading about dead (or imaginary) civilizations and brewing my own beer.
4. My favorite is book is C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces. I like it for its beautiful prose and clever twist on a beloved myth, but most of all because of its hauntingly exquisite tale of grief and love, failure and forgiveness.
Cheers.

What is your favourite dead civilization?
Ancient History is one of my favorite things to study, and when I wrote my favorite part of the process is when I create new worlds. I even started a free online class yesterday about the history of Egypt in six objects.
