I never read any of his books, but I think some of you did.

R Jordan Dead
CRAP! My dad kept joking about this happening. All I can say is they (wife/ghost writer/whoever) better finish the series and it better be good or a legion of fans are going to exhume and desecrate his corpse. If he hadn't wasted time with the prequel, he'd be done now.
Robert Jordan was a character in a novel about the Spanish Civil War (by Hemmingway?) I kind of guessed it was a pseudonym when I read that, and then later I saw he'd published under other names.

I feel like I just beat a kitten to death... with a bag of puppies.
Incoherent and possibly misremembered spoiler alert
Rand and Nynaeve (sic?) channeled all of the taint from the male half of the power into that cursed city whose name escapes me, destroying it in the process. So men can use magic without going more insane then they already are. It's apparently too late for some and the Black Tower either revolted or is planning to revolt. Tells you how non-memorable it was.
Some of the mystery forsaken have been identified, but I can't recall which. That one woman is almost certainly Lanfear, yet the only clear thing that's been said about her is that she isn't Lanfear. I think one of the leaders of the Black Tower turned out to be Demodred. Which at least means that Matt isn't (that was the weirdest rumor ever).
Thom and (I think) Matt spend most of a book planing to go off to some tower to rescue Mordraine (sic?), but then at the end, the only thing that happened was the Seanchen princess accepted Matt's proposal and the dice stopped rolling as they often do.
Perrin and the Seachan smacked down some large group of Shaido, but I don't remember whether they actually found Faile and the queens or not. I do remember that the remaining Shaido decided to leave the wetlands, so that's a plot thread as close to wrapped up as they ever get.
Egwene became ruler of the exiled Aes Sedai, was captured by the non-exiled Aes Sedai, and is now trying to bring them down from the inside. Or something.
Elayne is pregnant, and fighting a revolt, but I think she won towards the end. Theres an army from the border states and another army of the exiled Aes Sedai wandering around in or near her kingdom (Caemlyn?).
Aviendha and Min show up occasionally, but don't do anything. For those of you that stopped reading earlier, the three of them (Elayne) bonded and married Rand in one of the books.
And that's from memory! Fear my ill-used braincells!
