Long story short, the third friend stopped hanging out with us, and the relationship never recovered. No joke. We read those books during summer vacation, so we had the time to literally spend 10 hours per day discussing these books.

    Because of Daniel, I started reading The Wheel Of Time (half-way through the third book at the moment.) yet he still has not read The Chronicles Of Amber, smh. P.S. That awkward moment when you instantly fall in love with a series (Wheel of Time) but can't talk about it with anyone because none of your friends read fantasy books and you know that if you go into the community online you will be spoiled..... *sad face*

    If you want to discuss the wheel of time without spoilers for stuff you haven't read I would check out The Wheel Reads podcast. It is a podcast for first time readers since 2 out of the 3 hosts are first time readers. They also have a discord where you are only allowed in certain channels depending on how many of the books you have read which helps with avoiding spoilers for future books. I recently joined and it has been a lot of fun so far.
