I always tell me that his WoT series influenced me more as a writer, a reader, and a person than most other books I've read combined. He is very missed! ;DLiesel K.

We lived far from libraries when I was young so I was often left with my father's reading collection to choose from. Luckily, he was a huge fan of Robert Jordan.
