Robert Jordan passed away today.

I find it amusing that earlier this year, he said he could finish the series (which has 11 books I believe) in two more books... and then qualified it with that not being a promise...

It is quite sad he got so far, and didn't get a chance to finish.

11 books @ 800 pages each, isn't it?

Awww! I really liked the Wheel of Time series. I know it had a lot of detractors, but I enjoyed it from when I read the first book five years ago all the way through book 11. I knew he was really sick and the news is really sad though I half expected it. :(

I'm assuming that there's probably enough notes that his wife(?) could probably finish it. She helped him with previous works before, didn't she?
