*shrug* I don't find it takes that long... I re-read the whole lot in less than a week this time. (Actually, thinking about it, I got the first 3 in one go so I've only re-read them all for volumes 4, 5 and 6...) Also, it gets quicker each time, because I know them better, so I'm skimming a lot more. Fair enough if you don't want to bother, just saying that I haven't exactly invested enormous amounts of time in it that would otherwise be used for something more worthwhile! I mean, I'd've probably just been reading something else, and it might well have been more re-reads of kid-lit, because I haven't had much spare brain for Proper Reading* recently...
My mum has re-read the whole of the Wheel of Time in preparation for each new book. Now that's a time investment. :-}
* I don't usually count re-reads in my book a week (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~janetmck/bookaweek/) count (which was already slipping badly, I can't blame the recent Potterfest for that!) but I've allowed myself to count the Earthsea books -- another reading-in-preparation-for-the-film, as we're going to see Gedo Senki (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0495596/) on Saturday. I'm sure I did read them when I was about 10 but I decided that if I couldn't remember anything about them (and none of it rang a bell on the re-read) then it counted as reading-for-the-first-time really.
Yes, the forthcoming HP book (out on Friday) is the last one.
