I'll put him on the list. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 07/02/2011 08:50:15 AM
I've read series where I started way past #1. First WoT book I read was CoS :P

I daresay WoT is a bit easier to pick up later in the series than Primce of Nothing. :P

I'm further in now, and I don't even think what I read all those years back was part of this series. I really have no idea what it was, though; all I remember was someone climbing a tower, and possibly opening a chest, and something about a river and traveling on it.

Hm. Confusing. In any case, I'm enjoying Bakker quite a bit.
