ROBERT KENNEDY [1] - THE PROTOCOL - PCF - 24-Jul-19 --> 25-Jul-19 38 - AGATHA CHRISTIE [89] - POSTERN OF FATE - Pb - 26-Jul-19 --> 30-Jul-19 39 - TERRY BROOKS [23] - THE SWORD OF SHANNARA - Pb - 31-Jul-19 --> 9-Aug-19 (re-read) Spoiler: NOTE - No idea when I last read this book, but perhaps it was only once and therefor in my late teens, some 40+ years ago. My more detailed records go back to around September '92, but were not truly accurate until May '93 and after. Any reading of the book predates those periods. In fact, I didn't read the next Terry Brooks novel until September '94, which was The Scions Of Shannara. The fact that I didn't re-read The Sword Of Shannara around that time as a refresher, tallies with me relying on my memory, which I always thought was pretty good back then with stories. But it may also be that I had reread it some years earlier, and felt the memory still strong enough ... certainly to avoid wasted time with another reread. Generally I was always hungry to read the next great book, and I would need significant motivation to waste time on a reread. I have never been one to reread even a brilliant book, in a short space of time, having felt I have pretty much taken it all in, minor elements perhaps aside. Then again, I would sometimes skim through a book, here and there to assist with memory, and perhaps reread part of the last chapter ... all done in less than half an hour, before starting the new book I was keen to read. In my earlier records, I only noted if I had read a book, not when and no grading was ever given ... at that point, I thought my memory was sufficient. There was also greater differences between the books I read back then ... now we have many more books in the same genres, and many seem very similar after a while ... at least for recalling. INTERESTING EXTRA - By the look of it, this is a first edition paperback, and right in the middle is a color poster, folded in half to fit, which is a Brothers Hildebrandt picture of the questing party. 40 - TERRY BROOKS [24] - The Black Irix - PCF - 10-Aug-19 --> 10-Aug-19 00 - J. ROBERT KENNEDY - The James Acton Thrillers Series: Books 1-3 (Omnibus) - PCF 41 (00.2) - J.

One for sure, is so the later written short stories I hadn't read, could be read properly in context. One of the other reasons, is so I could read it one more time, before getting the visuals of the TV series in my head. With so many other books in my library to read, and a limited lifespan, I doubt I will ever read the trilogy again. Another, is to get the context of the series within the broader series, especially now that it is finishing up for the most part. Especially as 40 years is a long time to remember much of something, and older age doesn't help. 48 - J.

Now I just go with the flow. I guess I lost the habit due to a back injury, where all I did was read and listen to music for about 16 months ... got heartily sick of both.
