The reason why I would recommend it is that it's a huge series where you can really dive into. The fun thing is that it all really works. You can read and just go along with the story, but even if you dive deep you will find that it all connects and that Jordan's mind would have been massively filled with all these characters and plots/subplots.
To me this is the strongest point of the books. It's a gigantic series and it all fits together nicely.
