    Likewise, the Robert Jordan fans need to get over it.

    Of course, I thought that before reading this list too...

    I also never finished Wicked. Did you get bogged down (I did) or merely distracted?

    I'm betting the meme started off with a list of 10 books, because it has a remainder of 1 mod 3. ;-) Though it could be 100, and have come from one of Those Lists.

  • Bryant

    I totally got bogged down. There wasn't enough love of the original for me, I think.
