My sons got me to start the series by lying and telling me KoD was the last book. They had been trying to get me to read them for years' date=' but I was so turned off on "series" because of Jean M. Auel, that I wouldn't. One comment my younger son made, "It's like Lord of the Rings that never ends." almost got me, but I was gonna wait for the final book. We got my husband to read them by sticking TEoTW in his carry on when he had a five hour flight and a week staying in a hotel room for work.He asked for the second book within half an hour of getting home.[/quote']

unfortunately,my circle of friends are not into reading.One of them is but reads only star wars.

My mother only wants easy books...

One of my interns saw I was reading WoT and asked me I if I knew The Sword of truth by Goodkind.I told him I would eventually read them once I finished with these...He was interested in WoT as well,so I think I succeeded there.

And my Dad Is the mumbling and cranky kind but all I had to do is show him the cover of the EotW and give him a rough line of the story and he was well on his way! Giving loads of commentary ofcoarse,but I know not to take it seriously! :D
