Really, there’s only one major difference.
This is the reading order for those who want to read the series based on the timeline of the world. The second Wheel of Time book order is what I call the “Chronologist” version. That is the group of people who want to read the books in Publication order, the same way they were enjoyed by the series’ original readers back in the 90s.
The first reading order for the Wheel of Time books is what I like to call the “Purist” version. Well because I’m OCD about my books, and some of you are not.
I’m going to give you TWO Wheel of Time reading orders.

James Patterson writes too many books, so any time you reread a book, it keeps you from buying a James Patterson book (or a book with written by somebody else with James Patterson’s name on it). Actually, come to think of it, quite a few people die.With a little research, I discovered that there are 15 books in the series, but that one of them is a prequel.Īnd to throw a wrench in there, that prequel was written a decade after the first book. To avoid reading anything by James Patterson. So how did he wind up writing, and reading, so many books? This is a mystery story. Headhunters, The Son, Blood on Snow, and Midnight Sun are stand-alone novels. James says, “I’m still working on that one.” The chronological order of the Harry Hole novels available in English is: The Bat, Cockroaches, The Redbreast, Nemesis, The Devil’s Star, The Redeemer, The Snowman, The Leopard, Phantom, Police.But you can of course start anywhere.
As ever the tale is full of action, humour and great characters. When James worked as a psychiatric aide at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, he met the singer James Taylor. In a climactic battle scene, Thorn, Lydia and Stig lead the tribe on land, while Hal and the twins launch the Heron and take on a fleet of Ghostface canoes.His grandmother told him something that’s been his motto for his entire writing career-“Hungry dogs run faster.”.Somehow he survived and went on to become the bestselling author in the world. James nearly died early on the morning he was born.How did a kid whose dad lived in the poorhouse become the most successful storyteller in the world?
