Wheel of Time Book Club?
Robert Jordan's ginormous Wheel of Time series and I go way back, all the way to my teenage years when I devoured the first few books in parts as Finnish translations (they were chopped up on account of being So Fucking Long). Then I moved countries, picked it up again in original English but failed to finish it on account of a) life and b) it being a series that never ended. I mean, it sure did, andmoth2fic eventually donated the whole series to me and I told everyone I was going to read it as soon as I finished my PhD. I finished my PhD almost a decade ago. I have not (re)read the series.
Now, however, there are two things happening. 1) A TV series is coming out. 2)annathecrow was foolish enough to express mild interest in re-read efforts with me. On account of that, we were wondering if Anyone Else had such an Interest. Wheel of Time Book Club? Anyone? Share emotions, revisit questionable teenage choices or discover the world for the first time, cringe your way through the worst of it together and fall in love with the characters again?
You in?
