Sweeet! Hopefully this means we'll get it in New Zealand by early November.

I was on a tight schedule to get all the WoT books read before Book 12 comes out... not that I'm complaining, but now the pressure is on!

Yeah, I was trying to time my re-read so that I would get done within a month of the gathering storm. Unfortunately, I forgot how much I love WoT. I was partially counting on it being a re-read, and hoping that that would slow me down. That being said, I finished about a book every 2 days. So I'll probably have to re-read soe of it again come October if I'm going to get everything in the Gathering Storm. The change is a welcome one, though. Since reading Jason's review on Dragonmount, I've been dying of curiosity.

Makes sense. I just finished my second re-read, so I could probably just read book 11 the week before and be good.

Book 11 will only bring you back to zero where the characters is at the moment though :) All the foreshadowing and other information is spread across all the other books and the more you know, the better experience you will get i bet when you realize what connects to what.

I haven't even started my re-read yet. I'll probably still be workin' on it when book 12B comes around LOL.

I find this kind of incredible, because the 27th is my birthday.  ;D What an amazing present!  :D

Doesn't get much better, Shaggy.

Yes, but since I just read the whole series in the last two weeks, I'm still pretty fresh. Knife of Dreams should be enough as a quick refresher of where the plot left off, and then I'm good. Not to say I won't reread it again. I might, if I don't get insanely busy with schoolwork.

Many people work during the summer. As for eating and sleeping. . . .

Anyways, f you think about it, there are twelve books in the series (New Spring included), and if each one (except for New Spring) is roughly 700–1000 pages, then let's say there's an average of 800 per book. That's about (roughly, of course) 400 pages a day . . . with the small type . . . for me that's nigh on impossible.  :-\
