I suck at reading out loud for that reason.  I trip over the words.

The person reading the story usually pisses me off on book tapes.

The most and fastest I’ve gone through books was last summer; three trilogies in about a month… That only happens when I have a lot of time, and it’s a good book.  
Question:  Wheel of Time and The Eye of the World aren’t written like Dune right?  That was really a hard book for me to get through, the author went on and on about this one room, and Paul didn’t even do anything in there.  It’s great and all to have a vision and to describe it, but to take several pages to do so…

No no, nothing like Dune.

Here - I'll break copyright laws especially for you:
Quote
For all that spring should have come a good month since, the wind carried an icy chill as if it would rather bear snow.
Gusts plastered Rand al'Thor's cloak to his back, whipped the earth-colored wool around his legs, then streamed it out behind him. He wished his coat were heavier, or that he had worn an extra shirt. Half the time when he tried to tug the cloak back around him it caught on the quiver swinging at his hip. Trying to hold the cloak one handed did not do much good anyway; he had his bow in the other, an arrow nocked and ready to draw.
As a particularly strong blast tugged the cloak out of his hand, he glanced at his father over the back of the shaggy brown mare. He felt a little foolish about wanting to reassure himself that Tam was still there, but it was that kind of day.
The wind howled when it rose, but aside from that, quiet lay heavy on the land. The soft creak of the exle sounded loud by comparison. No birds sang in the forest, no squirrels chittered from a ranch. Not that he expected them, really; not this spring.

A much easier style to read than Dune, yes?
