Started a re-read of WoT in february, and I'm at book 12 now. So no 2 months for me....
I loved the first few books when I read them the first time (which must've been around 2000 or so), but books 7 to 10 bored me to death, because hardly anything was happening. So when 11 was released I decided to wait for 'the last book' (at that time RJ thought there would be only one more book) before I'd finish the series. And then the b*^*rd decided to die. One meter of books and no end! So when Brian Sanderson decided to take over I was glad that at least I'd get an end. But then I heard that there would be 3 more books, so I decided to wait longer. And longer. And I almost forgot the series existed, until I remembered early this year that I still hadn't bought book 14 yet. After ordering it, I started to re-read the entire series, which has been going on for several months now. I occasionally have weeks where I hardly read anything at all, and weeks where I finish one book in (almost) one go, and a few weeks ago I started the part that was new, although I have to admit that I had lost memory of a lot of plot details in the intermediate years. Books 7-10 weren't as slow as I had remembered (although it could've benefitted from tighter editing, RJ is no GRRM or RH when it comes to writing about details). RIght now I'm about 1/4th into book 12, and I like Sanderson's style so far.
