I READ A BIT DIFFERENTLY - AND IT’S RAYMOND E. FEIST’S FAULT

I READ A BIT DIFFERENTLY - AND IT’S RAYMOND E. FEIST’S FAULT

I think. Actually, I’m not sure.

Of the dozens of fine book Raymond E. Feist has written, Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master are my favorites.

The first time I read them I did so as I imaging any author would prefer: page-by-page.

Since then (so many years ago) I’ve enjoyed these stories many more times--but never as wholes.

Sometimes I pull them from the shelves and feel like following Tomas. So I do, skipping vast swaths of text in order to reap only the Tomas grains. Other days I do the same with Pug.

And it’s all Mr. Feist’s fault. Despite the excellence of the chapters in which neither Tomas nor Pug make an appearance, I leaf right past them.

Put another way, Mr. Feist created two characters who so deeply connect with me that I can’t leave them alone to visit any of the others.

A good problem for an author to have, I would imagine…

What books--what characters--affect YOU in the same way?
