I imagine lots of notebooks and computer files.

That’s an incredible amount of dedication! And you’re very welcome.

Think of it as a blessing. You can reread your favorites like it's the first time over and over! What I would give to reread some of Agatha Christie's novels without knowing whodidit.

Just finished EotW! This book was incredibly well-written. Solid worldbuilding and set up for the series conflict. Lots of mysteries and unanswered questions to look forward to in the next book. While I was planning and taking a break between books, I think I am going to jump right into The Great Hunt because I am that excited about the series. This series was my introduction to fantasy, and right now, I am feeling like I am the heroine in a second-chance romance novel with it. I remember exactly why I fell in love the first time, and now I can truly appreciate things about it I didn't before (like the descriptions and lieel tricks to sneak in things that the character wouldn't technically be able to "see"). The only thing that is slightly disappointing is that I remember the women being much more developed and stronger characters. I am sure they get there, but adult me, who has an MA in Professional Writing, is a little sadface about it. Still leagues above Tolien's feminine representation, though. I just hope that when this renewed love affair goes through its dark night of the soul with the later books that I pull through this time...

Looking forward to diving into the waters!

Thank you! Option 1 sounds perfect.

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.

Sometimes I can be silly and miss the obvious. Way back when, I came here for the RP and made several different characters that I can't remember the names of, but I never made it to Aes Sedai...and I would like to. Is that still a thing, and if so, how does one go about that?

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.

The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi I thought I was going to love it but...I can't even tell you what I didn't like, I just found it a slog and didn't like/care about any of the characters. Disappointed.

Welcome! I'm newish here, too, and just starting a reread of the series. Nice to meet you!

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.

What if I ask you to bite me nicely?

Thank you!

Hey everyone! Over 20 years ago, I dabbled in the RP side of Dragonmount. After high school, though, life smacked me upside the head and I stopped playing. I had no idea this site was still around until this past weekend, and here I am. Part of me is still convinced this is some kind of fever dream, so I am very excited to interact with everyone to prove that this is, indeed, real. Starla
