You're obviously not a hardcore interaction roleplayer. 
I love Jordan's work because of the intricate character interactions, the brilliant descriptions of lands and situations (his combat descriptions are par to non), and the very cool dialogues.
Who needs action!
By the way, check out "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman for a current-era-fantasy story of very dark origin... Just finished reading it. Wow. It even has some (minor) action.
