Has anyone read the book Dune by Frank Herbert and the entire Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan?
Wheel of Time is up there with LOTR for me, and I just finished Dune. I liked it. I saw a bunch of simliarities, and I was wondering if anyone else noticed..?
Bene Gesserit and Aes Sedai
Paul Atreides and Rand al'Thor
Kwisatz Haderach/Lisan Al-Gaib and the Dragon/He Who Comes With the Dawn/the Coramoor(sp)
Other little things: Shai'tan is the name for the Evil Dude in both.
Both have an old language referred to as the 'Old Tongue.'
I may be grasping for straws on that last one, but still...Am I crazy or does it kind of match up!?
{For anyone who doesn't know, Dune is the first book in a series of 5 or 6 sci-fi books. WoT is a series of 9(so far) fantasy books.(Subliminal message~ rEaD tHeM!!!)}
