Only just found the thread, sick beat. I am so down since I heard the news. The series got me into reading, it was a constant thru my life ever since I started reading and rereading it at age 15-16.

Its very wierd to explain but his death somehow changes my views/feelings on WOT, no longer are the books a parallel world I love to dive into and experience, imagining it would never end, it is now a story with a beginning and an end, the last word will soon be written and no longer will it be an endless fantasy world/story it will have an end. An end seems so hard for me to imagine how can the story of so many characters just end ...its was a living breathing imaginary and endless world for me...

Perhaps it's because I read the series when I was much older, I do, however, love your line of thinking, and appreciate your thought process, I imagine this is the exact same way I would feel if George R.R. Martin passed away suddenly.
