   Wheel of time is not in the show notes, yet it pioneered the big fat fantasy series….
   Just kidding you don’t need to talk about it if you don’t want (and I can see why you wouldn’t)

       Actually, you talked about it somewhat extensively this time.

   The Redwall book with gullwacker was “Mariel of Redwall.” That was one of my favorites of the series when I was a kid.

     Same here! Something about animals seems to give authors an excuse to write more mature content for kids. It’s like game of thrones but with mice and for children. At least it isn’t like this though: http://the-toast.net/2014/06/04/g-r-r-martins-redwall/

   It’s funny that two of you never finished the Wheel of Time series, because I picked up the books when there were only six out, and I stopped reading the ones that came out after that. I wonder what it is that doesn’t sustain interest for some folks?

     At book 6 the story goes absolutely nowhere actually.
