Re-read time

I think it might be time to lace up my metaphorical laces, and go for another complete re-read.

Have uk 1st editions of them all (all signed) (and of course the gap all signed) , but being lazy, think I might just get them all on kindle as well.

People talk about the commitment to read Steven Erickson… bah, let’s jump in and re-read the proper epic series.

Anyone else starting recently either re-read or first read.

I think Deer of the Dawn and Avatar were talking about a re-read recently.

Good luck - it will be epic no doubt!

IMO Take your time and savor it. Don't rush through parts to get to other parts. Re-reads are a chance to discover what you have missed before.

Cheers for the feedback and yes savouring it, stopped and read up about leaprocy after book 1 chapter 2 good to see it’s curable and rates are going down from 16.000.000 infections a year down to 202,000 good to see.

I finished The Last Dark this week and started Lord Foul's Bane today. Let's see what that earned knowledge brings to the table!

Yes, I'm definitely planning a re-read. Very Happy

I think I have a month before my order of the first Karsa book arrives, so I may abandon my current read (Conn Igulden's Rome series) (I'm bored with it) and get stuck into LFB. Been a few years since I read them last.

My only concern is I'm in the middle of a new Kenshi play-through which is eating up my spare time.

It's sad when you think about how one spends less time reading than one used to -- and the blame falls squarely on software in one form or another.

I agree about spending less time ready. Just my own fault hence planning the re-read.

I finished The Last Dark last week for the first time and went back to Lord Foul's Bane on audiobook and Runes of the Earth on Kindle.

Scott Brick's reading of Lord Foul's Bane is outstanding. I've set it to 1x speed, which I don't normally do, so I can savour the language and the story. It's delightful and I'm looking forward to going through them all in order. I did have to use a VPN to buy it though. It's not available for the UK market. It's so infuriating, but thankfully the VPN worked really well. I even got a nice email from Scott thanking me for my purchase!

I'm also really enjoying Runes on Kindle, now that I've earned all the knowledge.

Can't do audio books myself. They're too slow, and I'm too easily distracted from listening if I try do anything else at the same time.

I feel like I'm doing a re-read at the moment, as my partner is reading the first chronicles for the first time. I'm very much enjoying her reactions to events chapter by chapter. Apparently Bannor is one of her favourite characters in literature (and she's very bookish), I can't help agreeing.

I'm also about to start DMing a third TCoTC D&D game this month so I may well be doing a full read-through myself.
