How many times have you read the Chronicles?

Post by **Mystikan** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 10:21 am

How many times have you read the Chronicles (both First and Second) right through? I've done it 13 times now, and every time I find something new! I'll keep reading them again... and again...

I just finished the Second Chrons, and have started reading the First ones again. And I will read them again, and again, and again and again.....

Life is too short. There are too many great reads for me to spend too much time on one/two.

I think I've read the 1st Chrons 4 times since the '70's, once in each decade, and the 2nd 3 times.

I read them every 2 or 3 years. I first read them nearly 15 years ago.

Twice-but I am a veeery slow and meticulous reader I reference back quite a bit when I read. I guess, with coordinating Dissecting the Land this would, sorta, constitute my third read. Except for Donaldson, Zindell and Tolkien (Martin will shortly be added) I never really read anything a 2nd time.

I have read them 3 times. When I found a good book I always read them more then once, really because of the big message in it.

Beats me. I'd have to guess at least 5-10 times for the First Chronicles and 3-4 times for the Second Chronicles, though. I'm most of the way through Wounded Land at the moment.

I've read the 1st chrons 6 times since high school and the 2nd chrons 3 times. Since joining KW and with the coming of the third chrons I'm guessing my frequency will increase quite a bit.

Using Mystikan's criteria, I would say I'm a regular. Memories can be deceiving: it feels like I've read the books many, many times, but I'm sure the true number is more modest.

have read them every other year since summer of 1993. Like to leave a gap as there is always a freshness when you go back to them. Plus you have to read the Gap books as well...lol.

I read the whole six books three times last year and have finished them once this year.

I must be an addict.

What?! It took me about a year to read them

Maybe I'm slow

Over 20 times...probably more than that.

(well you do do things in large numbers, don't you?

Hey, leave my Landsister alone. We grew up next door to each other in Mithil Stowndown.

Oops, sorry!

That better?

Yes.

If you keep being good Furls and I might invite you round for some Springwine.

I've only read them through once... but I something like the flick through my favourite sections...
