Two books: The Wheel of Time Book 1 & Ascending to Babel

I've been meaning to read the wheel of time for a long time. I just finished reading the first book, "The eye of the world" and I really enjoyed it. The main characters weren't perhaps as interesting as I usualy like in other books, but the characters are beleivable, and the story is very interesting with a very unique world. My favorite character ended up being Lohei, a "Ogrier" (sp?) who is both a book worm and adventurous. I look foreword to reading the next book.

Now my next book about linguistics very simplified for non-linguists (like me) to understand. I've dabbled in linguistics before, trying to write my own language but felt a little bit overwhelmed, especially after trying to read a big textbook on linguistics. I didn't understand half of what was in that book. This is a much lighter read and I'm enjoying it so far. I'll let you know what I think when I finish it.
