I have the Wheel of Time and have tried to start reading it twice, everytime I start I get into about 5 or 6 pages and just can't read it anymore. A friend of mine recently came over saw the book and was like "Oh wow, you read Robert Jordan?" I said "Nahhh..can't really get into it" and he proceeded to explain to me how it's very like tolkien, in that there is a lot of monolouge and setting of the scene, and it takes a while to get going, but once it does, it really rocks. So I had decided to give it a shot. Now that I've read this thread, I'm definately going to give it one more try.
