Eleven down, none to go.

I'm an obsessive science fiction and fantasy reader. Mad I tell you. And the longer the series, the happier I am. That is, until I finish it.

This morning, I put to rest the eleventh book of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. Eleventh and last.

Sadly.



I sure I look a bit like a heroin addict right now with the restless twitches and furtive glances over my shoulder.

I had the first five in paperback, and I read them 2 years back. The remaining where nowhere to be found I tell you! Then came the kindle with its awesomeness, back lit leather cover, online one click book downloads and a few weeks later, I knew what Richard Rahl had to do to rid the world of the sinful self righteous ways of the Order. This series really appealed to my feudal (I'm told) sense of morality and righteousness :)

Great series, other than Terry's annoying habit of repeating things oh-so-often. He couldve cut it down by a book or two.


Jeeebus!

*twiddle*

What to do? Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time finale (14th book it is y'all) should be out soon, and so far I'm quite enjoying Brandon Sanderson's prowess as he completes the resting-in-peace masters tale.


Any recommendations? I'm planning to reread the Foundation Series (Asimov)
