Raymond E Feist. The Magician Series. I am Listening to the Audio Books & of the authors revised editions  the books are published again on how they were first written with the parts he had to cut out to sell it the first time. I have noticed some significant changes in chapter 3 compared to the original first editions .

I have read the series so many times I am not so much listening to it but remembering it.  And listening to it lets me pick up significantly different items and perhaps seeing the authors character development a lot more this time. just like a excellent movie the more times you watch it, the more you learn and remember specific parts.. things stand out in a much different light. I when listening tend to see the novel from a much different perspective...

I wish I had done this years ago.

Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain, I decided it was high time that I read it again since I last read it at my first school.

Ohh Twain.

I'm going to start on books I meant to read months ago --but am just getting to now. No idea what it will be though.

  I'm reading the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.

Doctor Lark by Bill Larkworthyy (a friend of mine; strange how you never really know anyone at all, some seems to have lives written in capital letters: gastroenterologist, wing commander, physician to the king of Saudi Arabia etc). It's a revelation for me.

Honore de Balzac's Pere Goriot (translation) --- for a class
David Harvey's Social Justice and the City --- for whatever I do for a living which brings no keep
George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier --- for future reference and guidance upon the inevitable outcome of my own predispositions

Somehow I'm reading all of these at the same time.
