I only get sleepy if I read a bad book or read really late at night. But I have noticed I feel more tired if I read all day then if I did anything else. Must be my small brain getting too much exercise.

How can you possibly have read 100 fantasy series of books when you only list over 20?

Um... clearly that's not a complete list...

Yeah thats not a complete list for one thing the star wars I have read could be considered 10+ series but I really meant over 50+ series for sure and many that aren't complete yet... or very recognizable.

Thanks for all the suggestions most are on my list to get when I next go to used book store. Thanks a lot!

To the first question I believe that it was the bridge to Tar Valon not the ones to the Tower which probably don't have gates as it's for the town entrance not the Tower's.

Then to road the Aes Sedia are traveling down I would hazard a guess that the road is straight to center of Tar Valon behind the bridges as wagons and caravans wouldn't be able to go down narrow or twisting alleys. So Egwene could easily see them specially if she was holding the power.

Additionally, on page 713, when Egwene rides across the bridge, we are told that "on the other side of the bridge, the Sitters waited, solemn." Then, on page 714, we are told that Egwene rides alone to the White Tower - apparently nearly outpacing Gawyn and Siuan - and that the Sitters "were waiting in the Hall for Egwene".

The sisters that meet her were not Sitters of the Tower they were just regular Sisters.

As to your last paragraph I feel that you are looking for errors rather than enjoying a book. Mr. Sanderson is doing amazing just to finish the story I don't think any ghost writer could keep all the geography or characters the same as an original authors. Especially when the original author is Robert Jordan... who is thought to be one of the best epic fantasy writers ever. I think you should try to ignore little errors or things you think don't match up and just enjoy the fact that Mr. Sanderson and RJ team decided to give us fans the last books.

I actually don't understand why people value signatures at all. I don't get it.

I guess it is just me, since most people seem to find them valuable.

Me neither, but I would love to signed copies of Wheel of Time and Mistborn because they are two of the top 10 series I have ever read, and I have read many, many series. Being as Mr. Jordan has passed away it would be difficult to get the Wheel of Time and since Mr. Sanderson lives most of the way across the USA from me and I live in a small town that a signing will never come to. But, I always keep my eyes out on ebay and Mr. Sanderson's site.

Eagerly awaiting Mr. Sanderson's new books , Towers of Midnight and starter of his new epic fantasy ( name escapes me ).

Wow Mr. Sanderson. Great pick you and yours made to pick the best artist for a great cover. I find it hard to believe that people are so critical of it... the scope of the picture with the funnel storm clouds is great. I can't wait for the series and know that it will be great.

Once again I just want to say your a great author not only because I love the Wheel of Time but also for the other great books you have written. Your magic systems are amazing and creative. Hopefully you will continue to write great books for us your fans but most importantly for yourself.
