Kevin's Watch

Hail!

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


myst - who wonders who else is as obsessive as she is

Twice and skim/chapter reads for Dissecting the Land since 1979.

I can't count them. I'd guess five times each at least in the last 14 years. ( Could be more though.)

--A

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.

Twice, and LFB thrice. I think. May have read LFB and half of TIW another time also.

Unknown - several times since the late '70s.

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

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.

Just once.

Read the first series probably 5-6 times, starting in 1978 when a college buddy loaned me his copy. Read the 2nd series 3 times I think. Read Runes once so far

3 times each and working on the 4th.

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.

In whole or in part -- too many times to even know.

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.

Only once. At the rate I read, it'll probably be a loooong while before I read them again. Heh.-jay

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.

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.

Pretty much the same for me, except I first read them eight years ago.

Original Chrons, at least 2x, probably 3x.
Second Chrons, at most 2x.
On many occasions, searching and reading portions in the e-text versions.
