What made you pick up the book?

[Teesee]

We all have our own reasons for picking up Wizard's First Rule for the first time. What was yours?

Mine: Looking for something new to read and stumbled into the "recommended reading" section of a bookshop by accident (no really, I stumbled). I spotted Wizard's First Rule, fell in love with the cover and the rest they say, is history.

I know you're not *supposed* to judge a book by it's cover, but Keith Parkinson did a great job with the covers.

I was actually put on to WFR by a girlfriend I had at the time. It was a long time ago and was a new release. That was bad for me as I had to wait for further books to be written and released (see: 11 times for my expination on that)

[Teesee]

Ahh, that makes sense now (the 11 times thing).

In a way I'm glad I never discovered the series when it was just starting out as I'd have longer to wait between books; but there is nothing like the anticipation of a new book you're wanting to read.

It was torture at times!

[Teesee]

Torture? Like Mord-Sith type torture?

Anticpation can be a torture all of its own.
Like now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a freind of mine was reading them, and told me what the Wizards First Rule was. when i heard that it was "people are stupid" i felt i had to read it. and it was good.

I picked it up in an oppertunity shop for 50 cents

What in the world is an opportunity shop?

And the people are stupid line is one of my favourites.

It must be an Australian name for them. They are run by charities like the salvation army and they re-sell donated goods to raise money. I'm sure you would have them just a different name. Most Ausies call them op shops.
I bought a paper back copy of Blood of the fold (already had the hard cover version) in one. I got ripped off though. It cost me $1.50

I found Wizards First Rule in my local County Library, and devoured it. From then on I read every single one, as soon as it was published or availible in the Library. I went through a period of not being able to afford purchasing books, so I rented them.

I must say that WFR is only eclipsed in my opinion by Faith of the Fallen.

My boss was talking about it and was raving about the series. I had run dry on books to read so thought I'd try it. He's lending me the books and I'm still not finished yet! So it's all still new and exciting. I can't put them down and am going through at a good rate.

[Teesee]

I did the same. After buying Wizard's First Rule, I proceeded to buy the rest and devour them one by one in a matter of months. I have a brand new copy of Confessor (which I think I'll give away for a competition on here... what do you guys think? Good idea or not?

[Grabthroat Shinkicker]

sure, if you want to part with it.

[Teesee]

I have two copies of the book. I bought one and then found a signed one on my travels in Canada...

I don't mind parting with the non signed one

[despawna]

Lol I found my copy of WFR in a book store my GF of the time was working at on sale for 4.98$ hard cover and was like what the hell. she said the next day the were sending them back or something so i guess i got lucky but then i too had to wait for the rest

[svenson]

i first read WFR on a recommendation from one of my dad's work colleagues and i got up to chainfire before i had to start waiting for them to come out haha. the last 3 books are among my favourite i have to say

[Pariah]

I think that I had to wait from Stone of Tears onwards, however that might have been as I was at the time getting them from the Library. I know that I had a hardback edition of Temple of Winds, that I got the weekend it came out.

I then had to wait for each new book to come out.

Luckly i got every book for my birthday this year, the first time i read it was in grade 10, which was about 4-5 years ago... i saw it in the School library and have been hooked ever since

[argetlam]

i found it at B&N it looked and sounded like a good book, pretty sure as soon as i was halfway through the book i went online and ordered the next 9 and then the next time i went to B&N i bought the rest im a slow reader so it takes me a little longer than i want to read them, and im in college with a full course load so i dont get as much time as i would like to read them
