It's a long process to read them all again. Those first 11 books comprised
over 6900 pages. My local Library was pretty good about getting his books in
as soon as they were available but he took about a year to finish each book so
it was still a long wait for the next one if you were caught up to his latest
book and awaiting the release of the next one.

JD>BTW, welcome to LitRPG Rob. Good to have you here

Thankyou.. I think I may have commented on the odd thing in the past and I
have been following the discussions here for a long time. I probably was less
active since I hadn't gotten into many of the type of books this conference is
supposed to be about, but you do get into other books at times so I figured
I'd mention my surprise to learn about Terry Goodkind, and sort of thought
people into RPG stuff might like his books.

I read lots of types of books and my Library thinks of me as family. I stopped
counting how many books I'd read when it got up over 3500, and now I sort of
wish I'd kept closer records as I get up to an estimated 7000 books..
I generally have over 10 books out of the Library at any given time and own
something up around 600 paper books cluttering up a very small house..   B)
