I can not, for the life of me, understand why people put themselves through the pain of reading these books. Even the hard core fans of them will warn you of the boredom you're going to encounter.

Deciding not to bother with them 4 chapters into the 1st book was one of my better decisions then, I guess.

I can't honestly say for sure, since I gave up half way through book 2, after forcing my way through book 1. The above is just my impression from having read multiple discussions about the series before.

Because once I start a series, I have to finish it. I can't just stop halfway through. And it's not like there are whole books where it's boring. Just chunks in the middle of a few of them. That happens in other good series too (e.g. Song of Ice and Fire). It just seems more pronounced in WoT because there are so many more books.

Plus, the last couple of books have made it so worth it. They have been excellent. I am so excited for the last book to come out.

Did Wheel of Time finish?

I was under the impression that it would go on endlessly. It made it seem like I wasn't quitting a series that was going to come to some climax...if I just read another volume or two.

The next book is the last.

... until the next age starts.

OK, so I didn't do any reading on #2 for, like, 3 weeks. Then, I burned through the last 250 pages in a day or two.

Book Three!!

These books have entirely too many characters to keep track of. Smiley: glare

For the most part, if a minor character gets forgotten, he'll throw in enough reminders if it becomes important later.
