Wheel of TIme gradually spinning to a close

So I have been slogging my way through this series (which I first started reading when I was still living in Boulder about 20 some years ago). And it looks like the end is in sight. I have 1 more book from my bookshelf, then the most recent release from the library. And about the time I come close to finishing those the newest, and last, book will be almost available. This has sure been a long haul.

But I am glad I put myself through the ringer of re-reading the entire series again as a run up to the finish. I am finding so many clues and little things that I glossed over or failed to notice the first time I read the books. It truly is an epic series and a fabulous story. And when it is all said and done I will be glad to own the series to maybe read through at least 1 more time in lifetime.

I am not sure I could say that about many of the other series I have read. Which makes me glad that I kicked the book purchasing habit a while back. It is just too expensive to start a series and then decide not to finish it, when you buy all of the books.
