I saw The Eye of the World on the new fiction shelf in the library in 1990. damookster Send a noteboard - 12/03/2023 08:29:58 PM

I was hooked.

Not too long after I finished it, The Great Hunt came out. I also read that from the library.

I bought every book in hardcover after that the week they were released.

Work involved using a computer with an internet connection so via online searching I eventually located the original WOT FAQ which had started on usenet. I went totally down the rabbit hole and their recommended links page led me to Wotmania. That was the spring of 1998.

To echo Cannoli, that is the damookster origin story.
