Having finished The Great Hunt, I now have a mere 12 books left in The Wheel of Time Series. Well this book did answer my questions from The Eye Of The World.
This one seemed a bit less LOTR like. Some similarity to Dune - the power that is primarily used by women, but on rare occasion can be used by men. It might turn out to be something different, but the whole connection to the multiverse through the stone tablets seems overdone (although this book does predate Stargate and Anathem so guess I can't blame it), and there do seem to be clues that something else is going on.
Anyway, good stuff.

A Walk In The Woods
I read A Walk In The Woods over winter break, but since I haven't felt like writing I'm just now posting about it.
It's a fairly funny story of a guy who decides to hike the appalachian trail. The author, Bill Bryson, was unprepared for the challenge and his hiking buddy was hilariously unprepared. So it is an interesting view of hiking and America through the eyes of someone who doesn't have backpacking experience. He did do some interesting research and include it in the book - such as he's very down on the national forest/parks services.
Overall if you're into hiking/backpacking it's a funny read.
