So someone suggested I should read this. Then I noticed it's 12 freaking books long and counting!  So has anyone read these? And if so, should I start or is there a reason the books sound like a novelization of Days of our lives? |

She's really pissed off that's there's still two more books! |

I got a little nervous when you said at least two. |

it's crazy that a lot of these authors have their books ghostwritten, all of my stuff is original and no one ghostwrites my stuff!

Well it is kinda difficult to finish a series you've mapped out when you're dead! Apparently Jordan's widow really likes the guy who took over and she's happy with his work. I'm not sure exactly how he was picked for the job; IDK if Jordan handpicked him or the publishing house did. |

Ok, it's time to fess up. How many of us are actually English majors!  For me, it's undergraduate in Communications and Zoology, with work towards a master's in English, in a creative writing emphasis. |

I don't understand that term, Ghostwriter? A ghostwriter is someone who writes a book but another author's name appears on the book jacket. Like right now someone is ghostwriting the Vampire Diaries series but LJ Smith's name is still on the jacket even though the publisher fired her. I may have used the term incorrectly in this instance because Jordan is dead and the books say something like "Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time....written by {I forget the guy's name}" |

I'm a little out of it this evening so I need to ask....Are you being serious? And if you are what the hell makes you think I am/was an English major? |

Any time there is a decent discussion of fiction, we are legally required to ask.  |

Had 5 years of English from 4th to 9th grade. It's handy to whip out when that damn language barrier sets in. |
