[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 9045408, member: 99786"] I finally decided to [I]not[/I] read the Wheel of Time books. Reasons below. You can see a theme... [LIST] [*]so long, and I could read so many other books and series in the same amount of time. I'm getting old, I am prioritizing my time more prescriptively these days [*]There are books in the series where nothing happens. I'm getting old, I don't have time for that [*]It's an ok, but not a great "must read" series. I'm getting old, I don't have time for that, especially at that length [/LIST] Here are some other long-ish series I haven't read either that I'd prioritize over WoT: [LIST] [*]Expanse [*]Robin Hobb's Tawny Man trilogy (already read Assassin's Apprentice) [*]Urth of the New Sun [*]DiscWorld (starting at Pyramids and moving to the end) [/LIST] Many other non SF/Fantasy like completing Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley series etc [/QUOTE]
