Books

Back in August I mentioned that I was embarking on re-reading the “Xanth” novels from my childhood, in order, from one to forty six – and I figured I should post an update…

Right now I’m about 3/4 of the way through “Vale of the Vole”, so there’s a ways to go yet.

While I tend to be a fairly fast reader, I’m limited in how much reading I can do per day because of ‘real life’… I generally get about 15-20 minutes a day where I don’t have to fix stuff, do something, or go somewhere, so it takes a while to get through a recreational book. 🙂

Either way it’s been a lot of fun to re-visit the first eight books from my school years, and then continue on in the setting!
