djmelbatoast Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'm only on the Crown of Swords book so please don't spoil for me but I can't get enough of these. My girlfriend makes fun of me about it, due to the horribly cheesy covers.Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves these books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 No, you're not the only one, I know two other dorks that read that series. I personally don't, I'm too cool for that. I am however in to the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind and The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist.

Jaimoe Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I read the first three, then decided that, although good fantasy reads, Robert Jordan should be shot for milking fans into buying a series without an ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 yep, i have read all of them (the first 10 anyway, don't know if an 11th has come out... yet). love love them until around book 6. after that it becomes so slow and drawn out, as mentioned above. definitely a fan though.

mattm Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I've read them all many, many times (the first three probably 30 or so times up to the last one which I've only read once) and it's my favorite series in the world. Yup, there's a book 11 alright, came out last year. There's also only one more book to go and that should be out by next year.The reason I like the series is that it's nice and long. I like regular books but when I'm reading a story, I like it to be with me for more than a couple days.I am technically a computer geek, though.

phorbesie Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 i agree...it's nice to have a long story, you get to know the characters so much better.it's just a bit weird with the timing of the books...ie. how the first book spans a few years but as the books progress things get more intense and by book 8 or so the book only spans a few days. i like that in a way, but miss the journeys/epicness that Traveling has taken from the story, and get a little bored spending every minute of a day with rand, for example.
