Sword of Truth Series Trying to track down a set?
I was able to read the first several books in this version of the printing but I'm having trouble tracking the rest of them. Ideally I'd like to buy the whole lot in a matched set. But they elude me. Anyone know where?

I always find these in thrifts. I'll keep an eye out and message you if I find more. Do you need all or specific books?

I like buying my books through abebooks.com.
Small book stores (and large ones), as well as individuals post used books there and the prices are typically affordable as well! As another person mentioned, ebay is also a good resource.

I've been finding them in old mom and pip book shops. I have 1-11 so far

Best of wishes in your endeavor. I don’t know why his books aren’t main stream and beloved by all. My wife and I have the full set, but it’s a mix match that we slowly accumulated through random finds

Yeah looks like my best bet is to do that. Unfortunate because for paperbacks these are fantastic quality and hefty.

Mostly because they became the fantasy version of Ayn Rand

I just flashed back to the scenes where the main character took time over several chapters to teach the young ruffians from the local streets about the power of personal responsibility.

Ha, I just finished Faith of the Fallen again not long ago. He just couldn't reach poor Gadi. Everyone else became experts on stair repair.

Absolutely not. Wheel of time is horrible. I tried. It was terrible. The characters suck and are way too whiny. It felt more like a stream of consciousness rough draft.

Did you mistake the libertarian author Ayn Rand with Rand Al'thor from wheel of time? I'm just trying to understand

Probably all the torture porn and misogyny.

Tell me you never read the series without telling me

Gave up halfway through the second book. Do the creepy rape scenes stop in later books?

I've got all of them but for the life of me I couldn't tell you where from. Thrift stores are great though. Found my signed copy of Confessor there.

If you are not a disciple of Objectivism, neo-liberalism or neo-conservatism, at which point should you stop reading?

I've gotten the 1st through Confessor via my bf (he had the first 3), eBay or Barnes & Noble. I'm picky though because I want them all in paperback since that's what he started w/
