Looks like a nice hiking trail!
I'd recommend against getting into the books. The first book is fantastic. The second and third only a little less good. Unfortunately from there it's all downhill. Jordan just introduces subplot after subplot and never finishes any of them. Kind of like Game of Thrones. He finally died with it incomplete and a complete mess. Another much better writer came in and tied up the series quickly. Jordan's problem was that the first three books were tightly edited. But then he married his editor and she stopped editing him. So if you get into it, stop after just the first few or you'll be sorry.

Is there at least some kind of completion with the first three so I won't feel like I am left hanging?
There is a little. I mean he keeps the thread going, but all three of the first books have a satisfying ending for the main story of the book. Future books would lose that. Actually my favorite book was the second. The ending of that one was epic, better than the first, and made us feel like the conclusion was short at hand. Too bad the third book immediately walks us back from what the ending of the second suggests. If you did want to get into the series, I'd suggest at least the first two, possibly the third if you are enjoying yourself. From that point you might be better to just read the Wikipedia summery.
Okay thanks! I have the first three and I have a feeling it will take me a long time to get through all of those!
