Well, it's time to have someone with a bit more age post on this thread.
In 2013 I will be 66 - my official age to begin receiving social security.
I first read Lord Fouls Bane in the year it was published. Still have the book by the way.
Aging sucks but I have not found a better alternative,yet!

The real question might be, how old will SRD be when the FC are done? And are these REALLY the FINAL Chronicles? I'd have never thought in a zillion years, after the way WGW ended, that SRD would ever write another TC book. So maybe he's not REALLY done with this after the FC's final book is published. What do you guys think? He said he had the ideas for the FC books in his head many years ago. So who's to say he doesn't have OTHER ideas floating around in his genius brain? One can only hope...........
Heard my ears aright? Did not the gaddhi grant me this glaive?

I´ll be 56. If I would wait for the translation into german, I think I´ll be nearly 60 
(okay, i will not wait 
).
Same as Rocksister I couldn´t imagine any continuation of the chronicles. It is over 20 years ago, when I first read TC. So it doesn´t bother me too much to wait another 7 years

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.

Haven't read enough in this topic to guess the average age, but the first books were published for the first time in the 70's, right? I was just getting out of high school then (1974). I found out about TCoTC in between marriage and children (a span of eleven years, nothing else to do). Hooked immediately. I know I'll be an old geezer when the "final" book is published a few years from now, but as long as I can have the book nearby while I'm sitting on my bedpan, I'll be happy. And I won't even need my teeth in to read it.
