Hey guys I'm mostly more of a lurker than a poster but here it goes.

Maybe it's a bit of a silly question for most of you but I only last week acquired a dust of dreams (I'm reading the MM Paperbacks) and I'm now wondering if it would be better to:

1: Read the book now, while a toll of hounds and especially reapers gale are already less en less clear in my memory and read a crippled god in about a year (when that on comes out in MMPB) when also a dust of dreams sank down deep in my mind.

or

2: Wait with reading dust of dreams until one or two months before the crippled god comes out and start a complete reread of the entire series while including stonewielder at the right chronological point.

I'm having time to think about it until I finish foundation from Asimov so I was wondering what the opinion of you "professional" Erikson readers is on this matter, will I enjoy a dust of dreams more when I can read the crippled god immediately after it with more fresh knowledge of the series or not?

way i see it, you can read DoD now, then do a full series reread in time for tCG

edit

if your concerned that you are missing some vital information that will make your DoD read more fulfilling, you can always check out the RG or TtH forums for a summary...

At the point you're at I would read DoD, then SW, then TCG and THEN start a complete re-read from the beginning. Then read it all again. :)

Thanks guys, great advice.

It turned out I didn't forgot as much as I thought so as always it was one hell of a read
