After a break of almost 25 years, I recently started reading WoT from the beginning again (I didn't know that there was also a TV series about it).

Apart from the fact that there are now 14 volumes - groan - I now have a hard time with all the different names. Without the fan wiki I wouldn't be able to cope and I wonder how I managed the first time reading without the internet.

Maybe I didn't manage it then either and I just can't remember. Anyway - is it because of my advanced age, or are there just too many characters that no one can remember?

How do you feel about books that have so many names floating around that your head spins?

By the way, I'm on volume 7 and still like the series.
