confession times
Hail!
Time for confession.. how many times have you read the first two chronicles?

Once all the way through.
Also certain chapters many times and The whole of the Illearth war twice.
First read the books 3 years ago.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

I reread it once a year plus The Gap. I have been doing it for 6-7 years now.

confession times
I must confess to having read them.. at least seven times. I tend to get really involved in the story and read too fast though. The up side, is I discover something new with each reading. I stumbled the books..maybe 12 years ago. In the end, I think SRD's world is so rich, quickly read or slowly savored, some new wonder will always present itself for me.
I am re reading them all again now..and Making myself slow down. Then..I'll start on the Runes. I wanted the continuity of reading them all in succession before I started it.

I read least one or two books a year since I started in the early '80's
But I skip around a lot.
Since I don't need to reread them in sequence anymore I seldom do.
I lost my LFB paperback for a few years and when I found it it was like Christmas. A brand new exciting gift!
Although I have to admit I look for more things now when I read them since I joined the Watch.

Since they are my favorite books, I read the whole series usually once per year. As a matter of fact, I need new copies because mine are all dog-eared and written in from taking notes for the dissection thread!
It never ceases to amaze me what new things I find every time I read them.

Oh, too many times to count...suffice to say that I've read them enough times to have alot of it committed to memory now.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Since I read the first chrons in the early to mid-80's I don't really recall how many times I read it. I'm going to guess twice. I have always enjoyed the second chrons a little more, so I've probably read them 4 times.
I am both fortunate and unfortunate in that I only retain general synopses in my head of what I've read, so when I re-read, I usually get a shock of recognition as things come back to me - it makes re-reading worth it.

I need to replace my copies again, too. You can always tell a good book by its decrepitude says I.
