My Shannara Reading Checklist

Last summer I read all of Terry Brooks’ “Landover” series. This summer I’ve decided to go back to Terry Brook and back to “Shannara.” Much like the first book in the Landover series, I read the first Shannara book years ago and am re-reading it this time as a starting point on this epic reading adventure.

Although there are many lists showing people the chronological order of the Shannara books, I intend to read them in the order of publication – so I am learning everyting about the world and its characters as they were originally revealed to the world.

Below are a list of all the book, the date that I’ve started them and the date that I ended them. Mind you, I am a slow reader so this will take me years to do. I will also read other things in between my Shannara reading – but not this summer. This summer is all about these books below.

There are 25 books and 7 short stories – including one graphic novel (as of July 2013). I can only imagine how long this will take me….
