"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[nettletea]

Hi there, new member here!

I read the first Farseer trilogy around six years ago. My then fiancee, now wife, read those first books shortly after. We both loved them, but didn't plough on immediately with any other RH books because the first ones were so special, we just wanted to let them linger.

Fast-forward to yesterday, and I find a nice short hardback titled 'The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince'. Memories and emotions come flooding back as I stand there in the bookshop reading the first few pages, and before long I'm home and reading it all in one sitting - such a wonderful story.

Ofcourse, the big news I learn when I search the internet for recent RH news is a new Fitz and Fool trilogy coming in August!

Which leaves me with a challenge.. how (and is it even possible?) can I get up-to-date, so I'm ready to queue at midnight for my hardback Fool's Assassin, and enjoy it with all the other fans around the globe. Are there too many books I have yet to read to be ready in time to join the party?

Suggested strategies please! Bear in mind, I have around two spare hours a day around RL commitments - and gone are the days I can read through the night when the mood takes me and the story is good enough.

Thanks!

(I would have asked this on a more appropriate board, but the spoiler warnings there scare me so bad I dare not leave this beginners thread..!) =)
