Reading the series for the (Can't really remember)th time

[Caveman_Nick]

I have read these books many times.  The earlier ones more than the later ones to be sure.

 

Whenever I have read them in the past, I spent so much time caught p in the story that I know I missed many details.  This time through I promised myself that I would not read forward frantically.  After all, at this point I know the story fairly well and there is not need to race forward to find out how the scene at Dumai's Wells will end, etc..

 

I think the thing that I missed on the most in reading these books previously is just how darn funny Robert Jordan is.  What a tremendous job he does throughout the story maintaining the caricatures he creates of individuals, cultures, relationships, societies, etc.

 

I suppose this is like any other masterpiece.  The more you study it, the more the depth of it hits you in ways it has not in the past.  Kudos to a great master.  If you haven't read the books slowly and in a fashion where you can savor the irony of the characters, go back and do it.  Man, is Nynaeve a riot!

Very Well spoken.  I would definitely have to agree with you on the hilarity of the series.  So many parts that just make me split my sides.  Robert Jordan......BRILLIANT!!

Ya Nynaeave is pretty funy. Darn I say it funnier than Mat.
