I read them once, and am currently in the process of re-reading, but I have dipped into different parts from time to time.

Now, Mordant's Need, I have re-read multiple times. (I lost count!)

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

I just finished re-reading them a couple of months ago for the third time....and own 2 complete sets of the books. The first set was given to me by my brother who bought them second hand and read them twice, after I read them the second time around I knew I would need a new set. Thankfully my children started buying them for me as gifts and of course each time I was given one I had to read it right away. Now I have 4 new stories to look forward to!!!

Uh... this is gonna sound kinda... uh... sad lol. Well, ya see, I read them the first time when I was 13 and by the time I did my Junior theme (I was 17) I had read the first Chronicles 22 times 8O ... and the second Chronicles 3 times. At that age I identified more with the first. Now I am 34 and have read the first about a total of 30 times or so and the second... hmm... about 12 times. Now I identify most with the second. Also as a teen I had no life. Now I have one, but I still make time to read. Not as MUCH time, but time nonetheless.

I first read the 1st Chronicles around 1980 and remember waiting for each volume of the 2nd--seemed like forever! Now the Grand Finale begins!

Don't worry SkyDreams. I've only read the 1st Chrons 3 times in 25 years, and the 2nd a big, fat once. But with all the discussions I've been in here, it feels like LOTS more! :D

I read the Chrons twice a year every year since I was twelve, (about 28 times), and yes though there are many great reads out there, the Chrons stand in my mind as great or greater than Tolkien, Shelly or Stoker.

I've read LFB three or four times and the complete chrons three. I guess I'm just a newbie. but still have the passion and devout interest in the novels as a seasoned veteran.
Yes I guess we can all just get along !

I'm 34 and I also have read the Chronicles every year since I was 13 or so. Sometimes once a year, sometimes 4 times. Haave no Idea of an actual number, probably in the upper 30's somewhere. I am basically reading it at all times, even if I have another book going...which is most of the time. Sometimes I'll just pick up one of the books and find a favorite chapter and read it.
