I realized I started WoT when I was 10; I'm 28 now. Rand and crew have been with me so

long, I should be complaining about the cost of sending them to college!! I've had jobs, gotten fires,

fallen in love, fell back out... but WoT was always there, new book on the horizon.

 

Have at it.

 

Edit: "fired", not "fires", although there have been a few of those too.

I've only been reading the series for four years or so, but it has never failed to fail to disappoint.

I've been reading since 1991...picked up EOtW in an airport book store flying across country...I was 16, I'm 38 now...good series, long wait!

Those of you that have been fortunate enough to start the series recently did not haveto go through the debate of wether or not to wait for the papreback to come out to save $20 per book. Oe for the years when no book came out because RJ had the nerve to actually write something else like Conan or whatever that other book he wrote in the earlier years. Or the later years when he just took longer to complete each book.

 

I started in 1990 when on deployment to the Med. A friend on the ship let me have his paperback copy of EotW. Read it in like 6 days. this was while standing 12 hours of engineering watch each day. I didn't sleep much that week.

Oh yes... the wait till paperback debate. When WH came out, I read it 2 hours at a time, standing up, at walmart, because we didn't have a barnes and nobles where I lived.

I grabbed that conan book from the library when picking up ALL the WoT stuff cus it was right next to them. Was really good, actually.

Agree. I read it a few years back. COMPLETELY different style. I like hack/slash, sword/sorcery though.

For me it has been 13 years ago since I read EotW. Amazing. 

I've been reading for two and half a year now...

 

I guess I'm lucky I didn't have to wait that long. :)

 

Also did you know that DM is also already 15 years old?

Soo... our beloved DM is at that age where she starts sneaking out at night, and thinks a guy with a car is hot.

Nice.

She's two years younger than me...

So, that means you are past the age where the guy with the car is hot???

I'm a guy myself... :)

Yeah, I know. makes it funny.

Note: For the past 10 minutes I've been running around, chasing your new posts. Fun.

I noticed...

 

I actually have trouble posting faster than you do... Not used to that.

I'm multi-tasking... Installing LInux Server software on other monitor. Enjoy winning the race :)

So far I haven't lost a single spam race...

I avoid forums, but spam race should be self-explanatory... wait, haven't lost doesn't mean you won.

I normally was able to catch up with two or even three others.

 

Also I'm at the moment multitasking too. Catching up with other threads whenever you haven't just posted somewhere.

Ahhh, but that's nothing compared to chasing forum threads and configuring a Linux network from the CLI.

Haha.

I started reading WoT in September 2011. I finished ToM in June, and soon after that I joined DM. I was just in time to join the wait for AMoL when it was only few months away. I haven't had to wait for other books than AMoL (and I'm waiting still...Amazon is too slow...) but years and years of waiting might have been nice, in a way.

I've waited only for ToM before this...

how nice for you johnny-come-latelies.

*glares*

waiting SUCKED. of course, the rereads always were enjoyable.

I'll start the official reread once I have collected all the books. First time I read the books from library, but I have spent last year looking for them in bookstores. They're quite difficult to find because WoT is not so popular here, and I've found most of them from old-book-shops. Now I'm only lacking 2 1/3 books (they're split into two or three parts in Finnish(yes, it's a little stupid)) and AMoL.
