Man, the wheel of time is such a slog. Just finished book 10 and that was 600 pages of setting up for action.

I'm deeply invested at this point and I can't convince myself to walk away with only 5 books remaining.

@mayintoronto I feel your pain. I read Eye of the World, although I wanted to quit it halfway through. I started The Great Hunt and am about 200 pages into it but not sure I will continue. I'm still not sure what it's about or why any of the characters are doing whatever they are caught up in. I can't get invested in them or what plat there might be. Just way too much to keep track of.
Is it worth my time and effort to carry on? I have the first 10 books in paperback...
@CdnCurmudgeon ehhhhhhhhhh. Only you can answer that question. I don't mind reading slow books. I still get a great deal of satisfaction out of finishing one. I'm too invested at this point.
