But in the wait between the fourth and the fifth, I forgot some of the story, so I reread them. Then when the seventh came out I had to do it again. I refuse to read them again until he FINISHES the darn saga.

That's what I like about the series, it never end! I hope he will write at least 20 of them, I never want it to end.
Why should he stop writing them? The characters are good, the setting is very nice, and there is always something new added. I like the complexity in the novels, it make it more realistic. Life is not simple, you rarely only get one problems at a time, and the characters in his book have lots of problems and things to do.
Some peole did not like his latest book as much, but personally, book 7-9 where my favorite ones.
It's just like R.A. Salvatore'S Drizzt series. I see no one complaining that he keep writing more. But in the drizzt series, the characters only ever get one quest/goal/problem at a time, and I don't like that as much, it is too simple.
