The latest book from The Wheel of Time has a release date!
Towers of Midnight (Wheel of Time)
will be released on October 26, 2010.
If you are not aware, I am what you could call not just an enthusiastic fan, but even maybe a rabid fan of the Wheel of Time series. Unfortunately, a couple of years ago its author, Robert Jordan, passed away from a rare bone disease similar to cancer. At the time of his passing, his series had 12 volumes, with one more to go. The last volume, titled "A Memory of Light," was outlined, with about 1/3 of it in a rough draft form, with a few smaller sections worked out to completion. Jordan's wife hired Brian Sanderson to finish the series, so Jordan and Sanderson are credited as co-authors. The last volume was also divided into three sections because it was just too big! It was physically impossible to bind a book that was the size of three seperate large books!
Deanna and I are planning to read the series outloud together sometime soon. While our original plan was to read it, timing it so that we get to the final book of the series upon its publication (probably fall of 2011), I think I will be too impatient and will read Towers of Midnight when it comes out as well!

Oooo!I love Brian sanderson. Have you read the mistborn series? It's one of my all time favorites. Wheel of time seems like a daunting task, but I've always heard good things about them. Maybe malcom and I will read them together sometime... We have a long list of must-reads!
