I think I may have mentioned this already (??) - my husband did the very same thing but then, over halfway through Fool's Errand, he realised he just HAD to read LST to get the 'whole' story, so went back to Ship of Magic. He is also currently reading The Mad Ship and can't put it down...quite a huge turnaround for someone who used to be a non-reader and hated fantasy of any kind, and also considering he swore black and blue that he'd never read LST as "it doesn't have Fitz"!
Good on you for backtracking, danieladamsmith, and getting that confession off your chest!!
I must admit I put off LST for quite a while after finishing Farseer (I'm still kicking myself), and if I had known then that the TM books had existed, I'm thinking that, like you, I'd have gone straight onto them, too!
I am too tied up with brain-draining tasks at the moment so am avoiding reading something new. I am also still in my umpteenth full RotE re-read, searching for the one line that confirms reincarnation within the realm...! I've not long begun AQ but have been dispersing it with reading over my husband's shoulder. I also have a terrible habit of looking in the books for "just one thing" and then getting caught up in it all for more than a few chapters...a little bit of SOM here, a little bit of DH there...
