Another ReRead Topic!

[Starla Yilmaz]

Going to start rereading the series today. I haven't read The Eye of the World since middle school, so I am very interested to see how different this experience is 25+ years later. I never finished the series my first time around for many reasons, but I have motivation this time around. Sort of. We will see if it is enough to carry me through. Anyway, I shall return to this thread with my thoughts, and, hopefully, I don't drop too many unpopular opinions.

I always wish someone good luck when starting back on this adventure.

Happy reading.

Haven't had much time to read because of work and Halloween stuff (I have two kids, 9 and 7, holidays can be a lot), so I am only a hundredish pages into EOTW and...I remember why I loved this series so much. Normally, when I get into a great book, it consumes my life, and I push everything to the side so I can find out what happens next. However, I am enjoying taking a slower pace with WoT. Maybe because I already know what happens next and I know this is a LONG series, I am able to slow down and truly appreciate the writing in a way I wasn't able to as a middle schooler.

I enjoy running across stuff I forgot during re-reads.  There is usually better understanding as well.  I also change my mind on on things I liked/didn't like.

About 500 pages in, and wow, did I forget a lot of stuff. Like Rand channeling lightning at the Dancing Cartman, but remembering the innkeeper smiling at the flute and sword. I always thought that was a great detail, so why did I forget how they got out of that situation?

 

It's nice running across these scenes I don't remember because it is almost like reading it for the first time again.
