About five years ago, I got into the Dune series by Frank Herbert and loved them.  They were so off the wall and original and you never knew the direction that the next book would take the story.  I was really digging the books and looking online to find out when the next book would be coming out to enjoy.  That’s when I found out that Frank Herbert had already passed away and almost all of his plans for the series went with him.  Wow… I felt a little bit upset because the story was left unfinished. 

I went on to other books and finally came across another series I really got into, the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.  The author had slated for 12 books in the full series and the 11^th book was published just last year.  I had mentioned to a friend of mine on Saturday that the author was so close to finishing the series.  I had hoped for a long time that the same thing would not occur as had happened with the Dune series.  I knew I was depending on this one person to be around long enough to bring closure to the series I had read over the last few years.

Alas, once again, my own hopes were derailed by life and reality.  Robert Jordan passed away yesterday.  It is hoped that he left behind enough notes (which he often recorded on a voice recorder and were dictated by assistants) that someone could step in and finish the last book.

What are you going to leave unfinished?
