I just finished the entire Wheel of Time series on Audiobook. I had read up to Knife of Dreams as they were published. I actually started Eye of the World in 1991 about a year after is was published, and bought each other book in hardcover the day they were published, and re-read the entire series before each new book, up until Knife of Dreams. When Jordan died I was not sure I wanted to read WoT books written by someone else. So, it took me this long to decide to give Sanderson's' books a try. So, I bought the entire series from Audible and started listening to them during my commute. It took me most of a year, but I finally finished. I have to say, Sanderson did the series credit. I really enjoyed the last three books he wrote.
I've managed to read a handful of other books while doing that, I'll list some and my thoughts on them below.
I finally caught up on the Sandman Slim series by Kadrey
The Perdition Score - By far the weakest of the Sandman Slim novels. James is a whiny little bitch throughout the novel. I start to understand why no one likes him.
The Kill Society - This is more like it! I think this is the best Sandman Slim since the first!
The Forever War by Haldeman - I'm a sucker for a good Space opera, and The Forever War is a classic. It was my first time reading it, and I enjoyed it. It definitely is a product of it's time though.
The entire Worm web serial - A really well done, if a bit amateur, superhero story. For how long it is (and it is prodigiously long) it manages to maintain a high level of interesting storytelling and character right through to the end. I felt that there was little in the way of useless filler like so many long series (George R.R. Martin I'm looking at you! (Yes, yes, Jordan was guilty of this too)) tends to fill pages with.
Swallow the Sky by Chris Mead - Very fun space opera with interesting technology, nice world building, but rather shallow characters.
The Art of Arrow Cutting by Dedman - Kind of urban fantasy lite. It was an okay story, overall forgettable though.
Yesterday I stared the Rivers of London series by Aaronovitch, the novels not the graphic novels.
Those are just the fiction books, I'm almost certainly forgetting a dozen other books. It is rare occasion when I don't have a book in my hand.
