I grew up in a small town. So small, in fact, that there was no bookstore.

So, when The Wheel of Time came out, it was the library, or nothing. But, the books were a hit and so there were like 30 people on queue for every part. I read the first 2 or 3 (Swedish translation where every book was divided into 2) and then decided to give up. It wasn't worth the waiting. I was about 17 I'd guess, and it was the mid 90s.

I never picked them back up. Then the other week I wanted to buy a long audiobook for my last credit and decided on The Eye of the World. Partially influenced, I'm sure, by the fact that there is a TV-show coming. I am absolutely SHOCKED by how much of it I actually remember!

And, I enjoyed it quite a lot!
