im being entirely serious, i read TOM in 12 hours (not straight, i need to sleep you know) the first time. my grandpa even quizzed me on it after i finished and i got 4 out of 5 of the questions right.
Read it in nine hours, straight through. Same with the previous three books. I dunno what it is about WoT (probably the awesomeness, though that is debatable with CoT), but I fly through them. Can't put 'em down when a new one comes out. My roommate and I take whole days off whenever the latest edition comes out, and we do nothing but read 'til we're both done.
Here's to keeping the spirit of Wotmania alive...cheers to RAFO
Is it just me, or is Sanderson's re-read of WoT taking an inordinate amount of time?

I would prefer it if he re-read it 5 times. I don't mind waiting.

I would love BS to get a better handle on the characters as well.

My problems with the series have little or nothing to do with Sanderson.

Why should you care. Just stop reading the series.

Because I want to find out how it ends. I was quite clear about that.

It's not like he's just reading for the hell of it.

Then what the hell is Maria being employed for? *NM*

As a backup that he can go to when he can't take time to reread.

He probably doesn't think he can afford to skim; which bits are the trivial ones?

Sanderson of all people should know what bits are trivial by now

After TOM re-reads, more beta readers and lots more edits is the order of the day

That could be just as easily fixed by having a few dedicated proofreaders.

I agree. I don't mind waiting, but it seems this re-read takes longer time than the previous one.

I agree with that sentiment. Team Jordan is there to address these issues.

You're comparing him to Martin? lol This book is going to come out 2 years after the previous *NM*

Once again, that's what Maria and Team Jordan are there for. *NM*

I prefer him to complete his re-read and have enough time for a good series of round(s) for editing

I'm pretty sure most people around here can, and Brandon Sanderson can too.

He has said that he is starting to write the book since it's taking so long.
