Read at least books 1, 2 and 3 first. IIRC New Spring will spoil the intentions of some minor characters that are secret until a point in book 3 (edit: might be book 2 not 3). New Spring can be read much later. You could read it after 10, though, and that would probably still be true.
But for those of you who'd rather read the Wheel of Time in chronological order:
- New Spring – 6 January 2004.
- The Eye of the World – 15 January 1990.

- The Dragon Reborn – 15 October 1991.
- The Shadow Rising – 15 September 1992.
- The Fires of Heaven – 15 October 1993.
