"We hope to see you back when Book 12 is out." I almost cried.

I saw Robert Jordan on this book tour and he was looking very sick by that time. It's good seeing him look healthy here, it's sad remembering him tired and getting sick. It's tragic that he died and didn't get to see this to the end and it's sad that we won't get to see what he had in mind after the Wheel of Time. That would have been glorious. Wheel of Time books are the best.

i cried, a great man. this world is less without him.

What strikes me most about him is how humble he is. Knowing he had written a fantasy epic that would last and having 600 people at a book store to see him. Today he would have 6000 at that book store. So soft spoken and deliberate with his words, just like his writing.

Quite sad listening to him talk about what he would have done after the Wheel of Time.

Such a great, great man. I cannot believe I haven't gotten in to reading the Wheel of Time before now. I've almost finished Eye of the World; such a terrific fantasy novel and I hope the Great Hunt is just as good. R.I.P Robert Jordan

Bless you Jordan, you gave us an amazing adventure, and a timeless tale!

He planned on taking a brief vacation which he would try to make it a long vacation. Well, you are taking a long vacation Robert. You made it. Rest in peace my friend. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Thank you for the journey. 😭

I could listen to him talk for days.

What a sweet sweet man. Vastly underrated.

One of the most beautiful, extraordinary minds in our lifetime indeed! I'm not surprised he's a hermit. To access such powerful, deep, and brilliant imagination I would think one's focus would have to be so singularly meditated on without the distraction of the outside world. He channeled his greatness and dared share it with us. Thank you for doing so RJ! xoxo

I wish he did more public interviews (like Martin) before he died, he seems like a really nice guy.

I wish I could’ve met him. Such a shame that he passed, at so young too. RIP RJ.

I cried. I wish I was on the hype train back then.

his wife/editor still intends to see that the dictionary/encyclopedia be published.

I did cry.

There is no better book than this one!

Sad hearing about the things he never got to :(

The kid was dying of cancer, and on that note, we’re out of time ... awkward

RAFO ... great respond haha ^^

Dude that’s fucking harsh at the end with the Book 12 comment Since this tour was for book 10

@Minipolce Actually, at first I thought maybe he was talking about a book he did with Teresa Patterson called "The World of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time" nick-named "The White Book" By many of his fans but I checked and my copy is dated 1997 so that can't be it since this interview was in 2003. I was deeply effected by his death. He will be greatly missed among his fans. It's sad to think of all the other stories he could have wrote that will never be written now. Very sad indeed. gener

indeed!

We'll never get that dictionary...

rand al tor? wtf who says it like that

dont be a jerk...i didn't say anything wrong...

you couldn't be more wrong.

No disrespect to the man but he seems sort of awkward, a bit stiff and nervous. Not something I'd expect from a charismatic writer. Just an interesting thing to me.
