So I have ‘just started reading’. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I’ve realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I’m really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I’ve kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they’ve read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?
Yeah, that’s rough. Most of it only becomes apparent in retrospect. The problem with WoT is that it was so long between books, it was hard to keep it all in your head when the next one came out.
I stopped reading them around book 6 or 7 figuring “You know what? Let’s just wait for it to finish and read the whole thing…”
Edit Book 6 - Lord of Chaos, that’s where I stopped. 1994. Scored an autographed copy though!
Series would finish 19 years later(!)
Then he died, and Sanderson finished it, and I never went back. Maybe some day!
It’s worth finishing IMO. I didn’t start until they were all released. The ending is pretty legit, only a handful of minor strings not tied up it felt like.
