Reading WoT

[shadow walker]

So when you are reading the books whether they be for the first time or doing a re-read do you do anything special while you do it? for example I like to listen to music when I read, but not just any music it has to be harder music like craddle of filth, or older slipknot.

 

anyone have any odd or maybe unusual ways to read WoT?

Well up until recently I would have to lock myself in a room and read in COMPLETE silence lol TV or music would distract me. But recently I've found that I'm able to read fine on the bus. And since I spend around 4 hours a day on a bus... it's actually rather cool.

 

As for reading WoT, I've only read it all once. Started around 1999. But recently I've decided to start a re-read and currently I'm on p.400 on Eye of the World lol It's really cool, I admit, seeing as the last time I touched it was more than 10 years ago. So in a way, it's like reading it for the first time ^_^

I read the first book of Wot in 2002, since then I have read the whole thing(no speed reading) 4 times.

Well I believe I started reading the WoT books in about October of 2005, I had finished all of them up to that point around April of 2006 and then joined Dragonmount around then in order to find out when the next book would come out (And interact some more with some of the witty members over at SG :P)

[Nynaeve]

I will only agree about the witty bit if I'm included in that statement :P

If by social you mean that you break out the "old crow" or the "wild turkey" on the bus with your other bus buddies...well then you can have it. I'll stick to my corner thanks! (I actually don't drink, but it was a nice touch yea?)

I have to eat when I read. I think it's become a conditioned response for me - the minute I pick up a book I get hungry!!!

Butterfly in the sky...

[Lynchgrinch]

I need pure silence, i turn off my phone, shut all the windows and close the door to my room. make my bed up neat and tidy and ALWAYS have the big book with bad art next to what ever WoT book i'm reading incase i find something that i don't know about the series....i know....how could i not know something about the series???

 

but yeah, i love music but i realy cabn't read with it on...i've tryed and failed...it;s like i have to read lines in time with the music and stuff....meh it's just weird i'm abit to musical to not get immersed in the music.

I like to put the audiobooks on my iTouch then hit the old country backroads for some serious driving. Is that odd?

[Talmanes]

I can go twice as high...

[shadow walker]

um...like a butterfly in the sky??? i dont get it....

[Talmanes]

*facepalm*

Take a look, it's in a book, on Reading Rainbow!

Ring any bells?

[Dunbar]

Read it once, several years ago, can't remember bat squat, got the new one lying around here somewhere (err, gathering storm is the new one, yeah?) but i've yet to read it :P

[shadow walker]

The reading what?

[Talmanes]

Well Towers of Midnight just came out and is currently the newest and second to last one.

[Tiinker]

I can't read sitting. Have to be lying down or my head just lolls off cos it hurts the neck to hold steady :P

[shadow walker]

sounds like you have a heavy head lol

[Jblaylock]

When I read, I like either to soak in a boilingly hot bath in a room scarcely lit by five candles and otherwise lightless, or on the back porch by a nice campfire in the fire pit with the cold winter air freezing my lovehandles in the back and a steaming cup of hot mulled wine on the patio table.

[shadow walker]

I don't trust myself to read in water....

[Talmanes]

Lol I agree it would probably end badly for the book.

[Alanna]

Yeah I have had not-so-great experiences with books in bathtubs...I still read in ther though

That sounds kind of awesome actually. I don't ahve any of the audio books, but I want them now, because it would be great to listen to them while driving. I just drove cross country from California to Texas and I really wished I had one.

 

I started reading WOT in 2003 I believe, CoT had just come out. I don't think I did a reread until a couple years ago, and I just did another one before TOM. And I haven't read all of the BWB yet lol.

[shadow walker]

I was worried for myself not the book haha, I might drowned somehow.....
