Back again on a Monday. I didn't accomplish much this weekend.
Currently re-reading THE EYE OF THE WORLD by Robert Jordan. 1st of technically 14 in The Wheel of Time fantasy series.
For Rand al’Thor and
his pals, life in the sleepy village of Emond’s Field has been pretty
dull. Until the appearance on festival night of Moiraine, a mysterious
woman who claims to be an Aes Sdeai—a magician who can wield the One
Power. Soon after, the village is attacked by Trollocs—a savage tribe of
half-men half-beasts. Rand’s father is nearly killed. But for Rand, the
news gets worse. It was not the village the Trollocs were after,
Moiraine tells him. It was you, Rand. Rand and his friends are
forced to flee. But his escape will bring him face to face with the Dark
One...the most powerful force of evil in the universe.
Published 1990; 814 pages. I read this when it first came out. It used to be a very big deal when a new book was released each year. Sadly, I got away from the series when it was going on so long without seemingly to move the story much ahead. Also, sadly, I said "technically" above because the author passed away before finishing the series. The last three books are by another writer. But thirty years has passed since I read it and I'm interested to see how it is with older, more life-experienced eyes.
Nothing on TV tonight. That's ok. It's been a busy day. I'd like to do some reading and journaling and get some sleep. Napping over the weekend is needed but the system gets used to it even after only two days.
Have a good day
Much love,
