How about re-reading all three so far of the quadrilogy (sp)?

Re-read them all, starting with Lord Foul's Bane. MAKE the time!

Re-read them all, but start with Illearth War, because that was actually the first in the series you found at the branch library on Glebe Ave.

Need to re-read

Post by SGuilfoyle1966 »

But don't know what exactly to do.
Five day poll. I will do what you decide.
(But I really don't have a lot of time to "make.")
Do, or do not. There is no try.
I think you like me because I'm a scoundrel.

I think the answer depends on how long it's been since you've read the other books. But if you feel like you have Fatal Revenent strongly in your mind, then just read AATE.

Do the entire thing! I mean, we still have a couple years yet, we got the time. Also, this will be the 'last' time you can re-read everything in anticipation of a future book!

I did. TIW and then TPTP, in Swedish translation. Got both books as a birthday (14th, it must have been) present from my aunt who had noticed that I was going through LotR for maybe the tenth time by then. Once I realised there was a book preceding TIW I was too far gone to go back and start over. To compensate, I reread all three in the correct order two times before starting on the second chrons (which I got for christmas the same year). :)

There's a thread around here about the Grand Reread a couple of us are going to do once it gets closer to the TLD coming out. I'm going to budget about a book a month. So I'll be starting sometime near the end of next year, or beginning of 2013. It will be the last time I reread them all for a while. Last time was 2005. Time before that was 1990.

I've done a full re-read on the release of every book in the Last Chronicles. Which means I've re-read the first series more than any other book. 8)
