The Great "Wheel of Time" [Re-]Read Ends.
Jun. 22nd, 2019 05:02 pmSome parts of the ending were satisfying. Other parts less so.
But I'm glad I did it. I feel a satisfying sense of completion.
I started the [Re-]Read July 5th, 2017, so it's been the last two years of my life (give or take a week).
But really I started 20 years ago in high school: reading the first book for the first time. A classmate who saw me reading other books of that ilk recommended it to me and even lent me his copies of the first few volumes. I started acquiring my own copies after that and have been carting them around with me every time I move. Eventually, I stopped rereading them every time a new volume came out and decided to wait for the end. Many years and a literal Death of the Author occurred before I finally had the complete set and could start at the beginning again.
Now to read what I think is the slimmest book I own, Why The Whales Came.
