1998 Article about Path of Daggers

 

If you're not interested in reading an old review for tPoD, skip ahead to the bottom. According to the author, RJ mentioned an 88 year old fan who sent him a letter in 1998 urging him to write faster. I sincerely hope that old fart is still hanging on, and that he makes it through to 2012 to read AMOL. It seems as tragic as RJ's death for someone (even if it isn't me) to pass away before finishing this series. Part of me imagines this guy as the real life Cenn Buie, sending RJ a short and impatient letter and even shaking his fist at the mail man to get him to mail it faster. He was 88 in 1998, so if this guy is still alive today that would make him 100/101 years old. If you're still around, hang in there you old !@#$er, you can do it!

thats nice but depressing

Wow. I'd hate to die before the end of the series. But then, I'd hate to die.

I feel really sad now well done :( Gosh just goes to show what a WoT freak I am. I actually think not finishing the series somehow makes death sadder
