I had finished the intro and started reading the prequel New Spring a while ago, but it's been a while and I haven't gotten back into it. But now I understand why there are no male Aes Sedai.

I think I mentioned before that I have those and the first ten books as eBooks on my phone. They were free, but annoying ads pop up and block the page navigation buttons.
I almost finished Lone Wolf Book 1, but I died in the final battle. I rolled up a new character and got one that was a good deal better, but again I died in the last battle due to some bad rolling. So I started up a third character and got nearly optimal stats, and this time I made it to the end and really kicked butt in that fight, prevailing with damage to nothing but my armor. My copy of the book started falling apart last night, with pages starting to come out of the book. The original run (from which my book came) had faulty bindings, but I had never had a problem with my copy before, and this is the first time I've read Book 1 in two years or so. Thankfully, Mongoose will send me a replacement with a good binding quickly. I'm still reading the final section, but when that's done it's on to Book 2: Fire on the Water. In order to save Sommerlund from Darklord Zagarna, I must journey to the heart of Sommerlund's ally Durenor to retrieve the fabled Sommerswerd, the only known weapon that can destroy him. But the forces of Evil know about my mission, and they're going to try their best to stop me. They probably won't succeed, unless I roll a 0 at the wrong time and killed by a certain falling mast...
I'm almost done Arc of Infinity. Before I move on to the next story, Snakedance, I intend to watch The Gunfighters, a classic First Doctor story that was just released on DVD. It's a pure historical set in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881, involving the famous gunfight at the OK Corral.
