Hi all. Just started to read the Wheel Of Time book series.
After some kind reading advice from a member here.

Been reading mostly Scifi books from the 50's up to the 70's,
Asimov/Jack Vance/Arthur C Clarck etc. My first Fantasy series
was The Lord Of the Rings and Hobbit books. loved those.

When i start reading i cant stop most of the time,
"Lets read one more chapter" feeling, ending reading way past 24:00.

What bums me out the most is reading a series and then not being to find
the next volume of it. Really pisses me off, especially if i liked the series ;p

So far i like the first book "Eye Of the World".

Cya all on the forums,

Stefan.

Love it that you joined cobra. :) Known you for a few years now and I'm happy we still are in contact. You'll find this community very warm and nice. :)
And I too know what you mean. Sometimes when I'm stuck in a book I lose the sense of room and time. I've also read some Asimov. :)

Welcome! :welcome The Foundation series was my gateway to sci fi and fantasy books. I loved that series and all the Robot books as well.

:welcome I can so empathize with staying up late reading. There have been a couple of time where I got so lost in a book that I was surprised to see the sun coming up.

What are your favorite Asimov books/stories? I'm a big fan of the Lije Baley novels.

Welcome! If you have any questions, or just want to chat, feel free to message me!

As long as you can sort of function the next day, I see no problem with staying up too late to read :D

Welcome!

It's one of the few times that I'm happy I read fast - when I'm half-way through a book and it's my bedtime. :laugh: Books must be finished, you know.

Hello and welcome! :joy

Oh, man, staying up late... Time flies when you're having fun :look: I don't remember the last time I went to sleep without reading at least a few paragraphs of a book (even if it meant being woken up by it eventually falling on my face :P )

I hope to see you around the site - have fun, and don't hesitate to leave me a Visitor Message if you need anything at all! :pleased-1:
