What is Meridian Reading?
John, who works at Pier 49 Pizza on 3665 East Overland Road is currently reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.
Summary of the Book: No saga since Tolkien's Lord of the Rings has evoked such fervor among readers. In the first Wheel of Time book, The Eye of the World, Jordan introduces a world broken by phenomenal power and threatened by engulfing shadow. In The Great Hunt, our hero, Rand al'Thor, begins his epic journeys with a quest for the lost Horn of Valere, which promises to raise long-dead Heroes of Legend. And in The Dragon Reborn, Rand's destiny begins to take shape as his followers flock to him, and the world descends further into darkness. Set in a detailed imaginary world, this twelve-volume series draws on elements of European and Asian mythology to tell an epic tale of good and evil.
John's Comments: The books are well written and tell a good story all ages and both genders can enjoy.
