[Quoth]

I read the Twilight Series so you don't need to. I regarded it as research. I've read other "modern" Vampire books, some school settings. I think Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (Carmila), George Macdonald (Lilith) and Bram Stoker (Dracula) were right. Exterminate them (1872, 1895 and 1897).
I quite liked a book of GRR Martin Short Stories my son bought me. He then bought me the 1st book of the series. I did finish it and told him to never buy me another. This was before the TV series.
I have all of the Wheel of Time but gave up before reading the last one Sanderson wrote.
I have all three sets of the Thomas Covenant books. I've not read the last one. I did start. I liked the Short stories with Daughter of Regals in it, and the two Mirror books, mostly, though there are a couple of gratuitous scenes I'd have cut.

I assumed that with Robert Jordan it was the publisher wanting him to spin it out. It would be good at four or five books.
