People seem to be rather impatient with books these days. I don't understand it. Books are part of a creative process and that process can be neither forced nor rushed. Unless you're content to read utter crap like "The Sword of Truth" series. With the exception of the first book (which is actually quite good), they are all the same thing, over and over and over and over and...
I forced myself to "finish" the series (8 or 9 books at the time) and died a little inside when I heard he wrote more.

It greatly saddens me that Brandon Sanderson was selected to complete that series. Those are books I will never read because I cannot get through that crap to save my life. I've tried twice. The first time I got half-way through the fourth book and the second time I managed to muscle through 'til about the halfway point of the sixth. I know many people read and enjoy them. Perhaps it's just me (thought I'm a huge fantasy fan) or perhaps I see over the top derivation where others don't.
Oh well. I'm looking forward to the continuation of Sanderson's "Reckoners" series as well as "The Stormlight Archives" though I know it'll be a while for that one.
