I never really thought of myself as a reader.  This class has shown me that I have learned to over come my perceived short comes as a reader and have developed into a person who actually enjoys reading.  I don not know if it is because of all the deployments I have been on that started me down a road of reading in my adult life but is something I enjoy and find relaxing in the evenings.  My son and daughter have taken to reading as well and they can see that their mother and I enjoy it, which does set a good example for them. 

I found this reading assignment rather easy as it was stated at the beginning of class if you already like to read and are doing, as much this assignment would be easy.  I have not really noticed that there were any changes in my reading behavior during this assignment other than maybe more awareness of what amount of reading and comprehension actually goes it to my current job in the military.

WK 10

I need to make a correction to this last post.  I posted he requirements for week 11’s post.  The times for reading were for week 10 but the comments were for week 11.  I actually completed the Omen Machine this week and now have to wait for Terry Goodkind to write the next book in the series.  I must say I finished the last two books faster than I thought I would have been able but I do notice the more I read the fast and easier the comprehension becomes.

I said last week I needed to decide which book I was going to read for
the series of the Sword of Truth.  I had not realized that the author
also wrote a book that is sort of a spinoff of the original series.  He
wrote "The Law of Nines" book before he wrote the next two so I decided
to read that first and then will move on to the next in the series.  I
will read the "Omen Machine" before I read the prequel even though he
wrote the prequel before the "Omen Machine" because it is not available
in the Kindle format and I cannot obtain it from where I currently
located.

This week I was supposed to travel for my work but I had the pleasure of
being stranded at the terminal where we would be able to catch our
flights to the locations we wished to visit.  Wednesday and Thursday
were both days that I spent waiting for flight that I was not able to
get on.   I started and completed the original final book of the series.
I must say that towards the end of this series I did notice that the
author was starting to restate a lot of parts of the story as if he had
to refresh your memory of what and who some of the characters were.  I
guess if you were reading these books as they were published these
recaps of previous knowledge would be good since there was at times up
to a year or more between books being released.  Over all I have enjoyed
the series.  The author also published a prequel and has added a new
book to the end of the series just this year so I will have to decide if
I want to read the prequel first, which was released before the newest
book in the series.

This week's reading consisted of continuing to read the next book in the
Sword of Truth series of Chainfire.  I had a lot of free time to read in
the evening this week and I completed the book Chainfire.  I have
enjoyed this series and am not looking forward to the books coming to an
end but the author cannot drag the story out forever.  I have become so
engrossed in the story of the final three books that this is all I have
read.

With this weeks Ifinnished the  Naked Empire and started the next book in the series Chainfire.   This Story kind of jumped from one story line to another.  I has left a gap between the two books but has already started to explain some details that are missing.  The more I read the more I am understanding and coming to believe this gap was intentional in that the characters in the book are missing some key memories of one of the main characters of the book.  That is to say that this character never existed.

I have also started to read a christian based book based on Calvinism called Joh Calvin: A Heart for Devotion.  This is a very interesting book recommended to me by a pastor friend of mine to help those of us in our denomination to better understand our church history and doctrine.
