    [​IMG] I heard a rumor that maybe someone here can verify or debunk . . .

    They said that all the WOT books are thicker at the top of the binding and thinner at the bottem. When the series is complete (according to this source) the books will fit together to form a circle.

    Anyone else heard this?

    It certainly isn't true for the paperback verions. I can't imagine any publisher going through the trouble of creating nonstandard paper or binding materials in order to effect such a thing.

    Oh, and if the size differential isn't immediately apparent to the naked eye, you'd probably need hundreds of volumes to make a circle out of them.

    I was quite angry with fact that he DIDN't resolve the cliffhanger ending in book 8 with Egwene attacking the White Tower angered me, hell it was only mentioned once in all of book 9! *sighs*
    The series officially ended for me around book 3. :p

    [​IMG] I must warn all the guys and girls that havent already read the WoT books, dont! You will get an extreme addiction it is worse than CRPG´s its even worse than sorcerers forum addiction. I have been hooked on WoT for 5 years and read and reread the entire series atleast 6-7 times. IMO Jordans is the best writer ever in his good moments its worth to drudge through 400 pages of quite boring buildups for the moments in the series when the cool things happens.
    It is a enourmous work many of the subplots would be enough for most writers but Jordan just keep making the series bigger and bigger. It does seems like Winter´s Hearth was a turning point something like the beginning of the end.
    Wow that was an impressive rant: Hope it makes sense.

    Winter's Heart had a great ending.

    I don't really care about PoD's ending with Egwene...(I hate a lot of the female characters. Min is the only one who doesn't seem...erratic.), so that wasn't a bad point. I did kinda dislike the fact Mat is in some rather large trouble at the end of Crown of Swords, then disappears for a whole book. Thankfully, he's back in Winter's Heart.

    I suppose I don't like Perrin too much, relative to Rand and Mat, so the fact the book is centered on those two doesn't bother me.
