Wheel Keeps Turning (or not)

Robert Jordan died this week. He's the guy who wrote the Wheel of Time series, famous for being a very long and detail-oriented sword-and-sorcery epic. The series is unfinished, despite 11 volumes being published.

Eric maintains that he never starts a series of novels until the last book is published for exactly this reason. Makes sense--it would be pretty frustrating to slog through eleven of those doorstops only to find out that you'll never know what finally happened.
