Subject: RE: BS: Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time on film?
Well, the subject of this author and his writing is limited to fantasy, it is true. So the readership is limited, but devoted. Ever heard of "cosplay"?
And then, of course, this fantasy series came into existence when the Internet and the World Wide Web provided social media and fan-based websites where fellow readers could bond with each other through computer terminals, online.
I have looked at this series -- thirteen really fat "doorstop" books, plus the prequel -- and I'm not a devotee of it, but I did find it a way to pass the time.
Filming it for television broadcast, at Amazon Studios, sounds like it would be tailored to the "Game Of Thrones" audience.
