I've been reading the same ongoing SERIES for 20 years, does that count? Lol. I'm talking about The Wheel of Time of course. I believe I was 10 years old when I found a promotional copy of the 1st book of that series (it wasn't even the whole book, only the first 6 or so chapters) in a military thrift shop in Arizona. I've been reading it ever since.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the series, even though the quality has been up and down over the years. It happened to be one of the very first books I ever read just for enjoyment, and helped spark my love of books in general.

I was shocked and saddened when I first heard "Robert Jordan" had died. After 17 years of reading his stuff, he was almost family.
