I stopped reading the WoT series a couple of books back. I was really into them. I think the MULTITUDE of story lines, and the lack of character development of a couple of the characters, and having to wait so long between books with so much going on, and forgetting what was what led me to just giving up. I might have to try getting into them again..
Any signs that the series is coming to it's conclusion?
OT:
On the cthulhu thing: the first year my now dh and I were dating, (3 years ago) for Valentine's Day he got me a plush cthulhu. Then about a year and a half ago, my then 5 year old son had a nightmare one night, and he was afraid to go back sleep, so we gave him cthulhu and told him that of course he would protect him from bad dreams, and anyone would have to be foolish to mess with cthulhu! And for the last year and a half, my son has slept with him every night
So last year for my birthday, dh got me the cthulhu slippers (oh my, they're warm!), and then for Cephelopodmas (it's like Christmas, with more tentacles), a couple of our really good friends got us the cthulhu handpuppet, which is now our Christmas tree topper
Oh, and dh's groom's cake was, of course, a red velvet cthulhu cake
