Year of the Dragon

[Tom Sawyer]

Hey, the final book of the Wheel of Time is due to come out this year and, in the Chinese calendar, this is the Year of the Dragon.

 

That's kind of cool.

[Beccat]

I thought of that, too ---very cool!

a neat coincidence...i wonder if they timed it so this would occur :D

Possibly. Is there a Year of the Wolf 26 years from now? If so, that would also explain the timing of the releases of the Song of Ice and Fire books.

With a ta'veren nearby, there are no coincidences.

Sadly, year 2038 is the year of the horse. As for this year of tha dragon, I had not even noticed. I dont look at the chinese calendar much but thats pretty good timing non-the-less.

Well played.

[Entreri]

Coincidence? I think not.

 

Also a lot of the doomsday prophecies predict the end of the world in 2012.

 

 

Good times.

Epic!!!

 

I was kind of dissapointed when I saw the release date (not in the year of the dragon) but apparently it is.

 

That makes me happy.
