Wheel of Time

I am reading book number 10 of a series called "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. I have been reading this series for a few months - mostly using library books, but on occasion (being unable to wait) buying a copy. It's interesting reading about the same characters over such a long timeframe... at the outset, I really didn't care much for any of them. After the first book I really became hooked, and now I am starting to look forward to seeing the end of the series.


Anyone who has read the series will resonate to the following, which is written into the start of each book of the series:
"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose.... The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of time. But it was a beginning."
