Damn. That just sucks. Can't get into Dragonmount. Everyone must be trying to confirm this.
Just looked in his author forum and I guess it's been confirmed. For some reason, I never thought this would happen. I thought he had a chance to beat this given what he was saying about his amyloid levels, but... So sad. Don't know what else to say...
His books were such a big part of my life and the lives of so many. Godspeed RJ.

I never thought the illness would get to him, kindof like how Stephen Hawking beat all the odds. This is too sad to hear :( RIP Robert Jordan.

Very sad news.

But since it's best we keep our condolences to one thread only I will close this one. Please post your comments here (http://www.sffworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17937)in the Robert Jordan forum.

Thanks.
