How old is the average WOT fan?

[yolindamo]

A friend introduced me to the books in college, so by the time I started reading there were 6 books already. I think that is accurate; close enough anyway. But that meant I read the existing books straight through. I was pretty much hooked at that point.

 

I am 30.

 

I am a Pisces, who enjoys candelit dinners, ballroom dancing...wait, this isnt a personal ad!

[raydurz]

I started reading it when I was 21 (I saw the book in a Naval Exchange) and I'm now 32.

[edman]

19. Got into the series about four years ago.

[Voices of Reason]

I'm 20. I started reading eh, when I was 4 or 5. :lol: Been reading WoT however for the past 3 years or so.

[Taz]

I'm 31. Only started reading them about 4 yrs ago after my sis recommended them but wish I'd discovered them earlier! Although, it was great being able to read the majority of the series straight through!!

I recommend them to anyone who's interested in reading now and everyone has become a fanatic too!

[gaishain]

I am 22 now. Started reading probably about when I as 19.

 

I am hooked totally and utterly hooked.

[Ciete]

Started in high school, just turned 30. So WoT has taken up at least 1/2 of my life...kinda scary huh?

[TheDiceAgain...]

This thread has the feel of an AA meeting. So along those lines:

 

*stands, hangs his head and smiles somewhat sheepishly*

 

Hi, my name's Bill, I'm 32 years old and I'm a WoToholic. I've been addicted for nearly 16 1/2 years.( :shock: ) I began reading the series in March/April of 1990 at the end of my sophomore year in high school, and OMG does that feel like a long time ago...

[goldeneys]

I started one year ago, I'm 15.

[Guest cwestervelt]

Hi. I'm 34. I've been reading the Wheel of Time for 13 years now...

 

A librarian recommended the The Eye of the World to me when I was in college. That was around the time The Fire's of Heaven was first published.

[Arien]

I'm 16, started reading the books at the End of September, beginning of October range. I still have a long way to go, yet, but I'm hooked.

[vikingdriver]

I'm 44 and just picked the books up in June and finished book eleven about the middle of September and have started to re-read them again.

[Urien Gaidin]

I'm 17 soon to be 18. I started reading WOT at the ripe old age of 12, when I just so happened to stumble upon tEotW in my school's library. Reading has never felt so good.

[dimmu666]

yo luckers how did you know i'm australian????? did i ever post it anywhere i don't know? but i am, i'm from perth...do i know you? umm i started posting here like a few months ago, never did on any other WoT board.

[Luckers]

Lol, it was the reference to Dymocks that betrayed you. I'm from Sydney myself, though my mums family lived in Perth.

 

Er... i mean... im like totally psychic. Yeah, thats how i knew.

[dimmu666]

OOooo psychic....how many hairs on my left big toe?

haha. yeah Dymocks rocks dude i've got their membership card thingie that gives you free books if you buy enough. I live in Hong Kong now, they still have Dymocks here.

So you still in Sydney? i've got tons of homies there and they say house parties can go up to 500 people in the right districts..... :shock: ...i seriously need to go to one. I've lived on Bondi for about a week like a few yrs back, loved it but sydnians aren't quite like perthians, we're more chillax..you dig?

[Luckers]

Sydney lives fast and hard, but i love it.

 

And lol... 500? Three weeks ago i went to a party where there were 3000 people on the door list. Crap party, but still, im sure you get the point.

[Kaxen]

Hey all i'm 19 now an started just before i turned 16. I got to read 1-9 straight through an since then waiting for the next book has been hell, i dunno how the rest of guys have dealt with it lol.

 

I'm also an aussie, but alas i'm a country boy from Vic were life is cruisy as!!!

[dimmu666]

welcome aussie homie. This thread has become our chill spot just like the backyard barbys at home...damn i miss those days. Luckers, you say 3000? i say you crazy need a shrink! then i say i need to get invited to one....because thats just a sick figure man! that would be like a house the size of John Howard's ass to fit so many!

 

Here in a country thats not actually a country, Hong Kong is a pewny place but ppl know how to partay. 7 million ppl cramped onto an island the size of an emu dropping seriously and you get this messed psychotic party vibe. I miss the footie though. You guys know how the fremantle dockers are doing recently? i was a fan but i lost track ages back.

[Kadere]

Wow, so many of us have been waiting so long. But I think it says something that we're still here reading them over and over and over again waiting for he final installment.

[Kara_J]

Hi, I started reading them at the age of about 20 at the insistance of a friend, I'm now 27 and still hooked! Just got my fella into them too, and boy is he a slow reader, i couldn't wait to discuss KoD with him, but it took him about 2 months to read!

[DemandredFO]

Hey, names Joe and I live in a booooring town in PA. I am visually-impaired but can read but as you may understand I chose to listen to them, SR & LOC are 41 discs each. :) Started and finished them this past year and I got on to them cuz I thought I'd try New Spring and been addicted ever since. I'm 24.

 

Do or do not there is no try

 

P.S. These forums give me a laugh. keep up the good work

[trevorcroft]

Started reading them when I was 12-13, I'm 27 now.

[Tuon]

Hello !

 

Was curious about this question too...I'm 33. A lot of fans around 30-something...good, I'm not weird :lol: ..wouldn't care anyway..

 

Found my favourite character in the last few books: Tuon...feisty little thing..who gets to marry Mart (his 'Dutch' name) 8)

 

And Aussies....we have housepartys here (in Amsterdam, the Netherlands) twice a year with 30,000 people...its actually held in a soccer stadium. Come and party !

[Luckers]

Yeah, you guys in Amsterdam do lots of things we Aussies would be interested in joining in on.
