I'll be reading it soon enough :)
First time I started reading, I got to the 5th book. Lotta things came up in life, didn't read it for a while, so restarted, and got to the 8th book I believe. Same thing happened, and I'm to the 6th book now. It was probably for the best anyways being that I am older and can understand what is going on a lot better now.
I've always loved Mat the most of the boys, and Nynaeve of the girls. Don't particularly have a favorite forsaken. Aviendha would be my favorite of Rand's women.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
