What if he did something HEINOUS like mix up a horse! Or have Nynaeve wear red! EGAD!!! The NERD-RAGE!!!
The sad thing is, I'm not being sarcastic...there are way too many people who'd go ape if he messed up some tiny fuckin' detail that doesn't matter to anyone but the obsessive. If I was him, I'd reread the series TWICE before each new book!
Also, if he IS taking notes (much like us students take notes on our textbooks and formal "literature analysis" readings) I can understand why it would take him so much longer.
*read a chapter*
*Take notes*
*Read a chapter*
*notes*
etc...etc...
I can see how that would take more time than just a simple re-read.

Is it just me, or is Sanderson's re-read of WoT taking an inordinate amount of time?

I would prefer it if he re-read it 5 times. I don't mind waiting.

I would love BS to get a better handle on the characters as well.

My problems with the series have little or nothing to do with Sanderson.

Why should you care. Just stop reading the series.

Because I want to find out how it ends. I was quite clear about that.

It's not like he's just reading for the hell of it.

Then what the hell is Maria being employed for? *NM*

As a backup that he can go to when he can't take time to reread.

He probably doesn't think he can afford to skim; which bits are the trivial ones?

After TOM re-reads, more beta readers and lots more edits is the order of the day

That could be just as easily fixed by having a few dedicated proofreaders.

I agree. I don't mind waiting, but it seems this re-read takes longer time than the previous one.

I agree with that sentiment. Team Jordan is there to address these issues.

Once again, that's what Maria and Team Jordan are there for. *NM*

I prefer him to complete his re-read and have enough time for a good series of round(s) for editing

I'm pretty sure most people around here can, and Brandon Sanderson can too.

He has said that he is starting to write the book since it's taking so long.
