Ah, so it's a fully fleshed out world with all the stuff one see's in Tolkien's work? (Just using him as a reference.) Alright, and since I see that there are quite a few books in the Wheel of Time series, are they all seperate storylines with different characters each time? I am asking because at my local book stores they are packeged into sets of four.

I also just finished reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu. I'll say while he covered quite a few topics in the simplist of ways I don't see how this is a huge classic. Granted it is a good read and a fast one at that, but it just seems little overrated, it's good but not great/legendary.
