I'd contemplated selling some of my harder to find titles, but I'd rather eat them than sell them at today's prices on eBay.

But...what's GRRM?? I am very bad at abbreviations.

I've only read the first Rothfuss so far, but I absolutely LOVED it!! I love Donadlson too!! Not always the most "cheerful" books, but he's pretty much my favorite author. You should check out his two book series which contained Mirror of Her Dreams and A Man Rides Through. Great great stuff. And of course GRRM is priceless.
I would LOVE to see CD break into the fantasy market someday!!!

But, after a two year break I'd have to start reading all over again - and as I'm a slow reader (I like to savour a book) it's going to take me a very long time to do so.
More important, there are other books I like to read first - series I've also collected unread. For example, the George R.R. Martin A Song of Ice and Fire series. Or Patrick Rothfuss' The Killer Chronicle, Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (all 10 books), Justin Kronin's vampire trilogy (The Passage is the first) and more.

The series will be complete this year (November I think), so if you're someone who doesn't like to start unfinished series, it won't be unfinished for long.

frik51, I did not read my set of Wot, but I had read the series through 7 and I think it's well worth the time!! Granted, I hear Path of Daggers was a boring read, but the series overall still had a lot of merit. Right now I am finishing Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson.....very detailed and interesting series so far, but somewhat a tough read because it seems there are even more people referenced than Erikson and Martin's books combined. Plus the start of the series just drops you in the middle of the story and very slowly gives you bits of clarification.

I was planning to read it once finished, and did read the first four books, but then something happened -looooong story- and I had to stop reading for a couple of years.
Now I've lost interest and I'm planning on selling my books one of these days.
And yes, most -not all- are 1st/1st editons in unread condition.

I need to find the TOR reissue trade hardback of Lumley's The Source.....only problem is I found the other 4 of the main series at regular price or in remainders and the only copies of The Source I've seen were a good bit more expensive.

I actually have First/Firsts of the enitre WoT series that I bought myself as they came out starting in '90. The first seven of the series are signed. One of my "lucky" purchases was about 15? years ago....I found a shrink wrapped set of the first three Thomas Covenant books in remainders at a chain book store for $30. None of them were first printing, but I had finally found the first three in hardback and for such a deal!!!
