16 weeks and now the abyss

[Tuons Voice]

Hi everybody,
I'm Stefan, really, but I liked Tuon best.
I started this voyage 16 weeks ago to this day (Sunday near the end of October 2016). Since then I have dedicated most of my spare time to read the adventures of Rand and his friends and foes. Over the weeks this grew into a unique experience, partly due to the sheer volume, but mostly because I really liked the characters and the story and each evening I faced the dilemma of continuing to read versus getting enough sleep. Now that I have come to the end of that road, I'm a bit uncertain how to move on....
I came to this book series only recently with the motivation: "now I want to read something where I'm sure it has an end" (in contrast to GOT, etc.) and I have to say: it was great!
I'm from Vienna, Austria and probably well above this forums age average. I don't ride horses, but I do ride bikes. Cheers!

Welcome Stefan! Glad you found us and wow you read the series quickly! You also might be surprised at some of our ages...we're getting up there ourselves these days

 

[Tuons Voice]

Yes, well, let's hope we all see the dawn of the next age! It certainly looks like it's the dusk of this one to me sometimes!

Welcome! If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to message me.
I'm on the younger side for ages here... I am amused that you mention horses because I do ride horses.

Welcome to TarValon! This means I am no longer the newest member haha.

 

[Elania al'Manir]

Welcome to Tar Valon!

 

[Madhar al'Thera]

Welcome! That's a pretty solid reading time! Feel free to ask any questions here or via PM

 

[Tuons Voice]

Thanks for the warm welcome, everybody!
Kaeinara: happy to take your place as newbie!
All: are there and can you please point me to threads which discuss the storyline or phantasize about the way the story goes on after the official end? I mean: what about the Aiel??

 

[Nynyra Falas]

Welcome to TV.net Tuons.

Please be careful with spoilers/talking about the end of the story. Not everybody is that far in reading... - As for me, I haven't read the last book.

Scroll a bit further down, you should find the book disscuison stuff.

 

[Elin al'Nia]

:welcome And I have to ask, pushbikes or motorbikes? Pedal power or engine?

 

[Jarl Lewin]

:welcome Happy to hear you've made your first journey through the world of The Wheel of Time! I am certain you will read it many times over; I think most of us have! C. S. Lewis once wrote that any book really worth reading will be read 10, 20, or 30 times over in a person's lifetime, or something like that. I have certainly found that to be true with tWoT (and aSoIaF for that matter).

 

[Tuons Voice]

Nynyra, thanks for the warning, I will take care not to spoil!
Elin, it's both really! On my way to work I usually prefer the pedal bike and sometimes I don't. That's when I'm on my Kawasaki street bike!
Jarl, we definitely have at least two authors we both like!

 

[Nynyra Falas]

As for the age, I don't know how old you are, but not everbody is very young.
I also belong to the 'older ones'.

 

[Blu al'Eloquene]

Welcome Tuon! You made great timing in your journey! I'm Blu--I'm a Chat Op here in Tar Valon (yes, we have chat rooms and trivia!), feel free to stop by some time and hang out!

 

[Lenore Carvoe]

I'm middle aged. :P

Welcome to Tar Valon, Stefan.

 

[Nynyra Falas]

I think the middle aged ones, are the older ones here, Lenore.

 

[Lenore Carvoe]

There are definitely older ones here, and they are not few.

 

[Nynyra Falas]

Alright.

 

[Rhed al'Tere]

Hi Stefan, and welcome to Tar Valon! Have you found the Book Discussion forums yet? They're here, and in that one (1-14), you can talk spoilers to your heart's content.

 

[Cahalan Sothron]

Nice to meet you, Stefan! It's always good to have more folks in the older crowd (though I refuse to act like I'm "older" :tug :P)
