Hypothetical, but very real, situation

Post by Loredoctor »

Say you finally have all of the Last Chronicles books (after they have been published). Would you then read the ENTIRE TCTC series? That is, from the first chronicles to the last chronicles, without reading any other book in between? My answer: yes, absolutely.

Definitely. Just to be followed by the Gap. Maybe by that time _that_ will get a sequel, too...

I do not know if I could do that, but it would be worth trying. Maybe a project for a christmas break or something similar.

"A project for a christmas break"???? Wow, you'd have to read a whole lot faster than me to do that!

Thats the way i am about the TCTC. Once I start reading LFB, I want to read the whole series. TCTC are one of the few books I can read and reread ad infinitum.

My general opinion is that if you want to re-read something from a series of books, you should re-read them all - so of course I would ;) Besides, every time I re-read TCTC, I discover something new and fascinating, so I quite enjoy doing it ;)

There is no question in my mind that I'd do that very thing many times over. Now you are making me nuts for Runes so I can get started. :D

Reading the entire Chrons through to Runes and beyond is sorta the ideal behind Dissecting the Land (even though we didn't know it was coming out when we set it up... :wink: )

well, wouldn't that be the idea of getting the last chronicals? to read the whole series form bok 1 of series one to the last book of the last series?

i dont think i could do it...ive reread the first two more than once, of course...but...10 books...thats almost like finally getting the WOT series done, then rereading it...except that the chronicles are far better....but...theyre both gonna have a crap load of books in the series...heh...



i think ill give it a try, though...actually, i think ill buy em all...then re read the first two, then read the third one for the first time, so ill be reading them all the first time around...or something...


the last time i tried to re-read the first two chronicles, i coudlnt finish the second one, cuz i didnt want to see Covenant die


stupid i know, but i couldnt finish it...

Reading the Chronicles from book one to the very last was my intentions anyway. I see it as one story. Why pick up in the middle of the story, even though you know what's going to happen in the beginning?
I would watch a movie from start to finish, although I may had only seen the ending or beginning. (I guess you can call it a "Contineum" of the proccess)

That is sort of what I am doing now and my original reason that I stumbled upon this site. I started to re-read the series from cover to cover then stumbled across this site with the glorious news that there are to be more books!! :lol:
