OH my god. I started WoT and read upto book 9 TWICE because I tried to take a break from it the first time and ended up forgetting everything

Twice, actually. I'm a glutton for punishment, but it's a great series. Jordan's imagination was incredible. His world-building is so detailed.

I don't blame you. It's a commitment and you have to be in the right frame of mind to take it on. I don't know if I could read it again now.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. This happens to me with some books I read a few chapters of and then put down for a while. So far, I've been able to retain a lot from the four books I've read, but I expect I will be reading Wikipedia summaries to refresh myself at some point. haha

Now I've just resigned myself to watching the tv show :P

Back when I was reading it though, I had stumbled across an animated map that gave you key pieces of information and showed you everyone's positions that that time. It was unreal. I was never able to find it again and now I'm not even sure if it was real or something I dreamt up. (this was in the very early days of my internet usage and I don't think I knew that bookmarking was even a thing haha)
