The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

I decided to read this book based on Brandon Sanderson's tweets, and because I've been thinking about reading this series for a while. I'm glad I did. I really liked the way the series split up the role of the young male protagonist into three, so we're not really sure who's going to be the main mover and shaker. I also thought dividing the main group traveling worked well. I enjoyed the references both to the mythos surrounding the King Arthur legend and to Middle Earth. Overall, I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
