Ditch them. Start collecting Pratchett, including his kids books.

Now I'm reading two books at once despite my best intentions.
You're in for a treat! Robert Jordan gives a background story to even minor characters, which I always thought was cool. That definitely contributes to the often +500 page count.
I gave up on Jordan after the third book once I realised he was pulling a LaJenkins, ie turning an idea that was good for, at best, three books into a massive sprawling anthology, massively weakening his premise.
I do acknowledge that Jordan was a much better author than Jerry Jenkins.
You're talking about the guy that did "Left Behind"? I read like the first 8 of those when I was a Christian. They did drag on unnecessarily.
