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.

With this weeks reading I am almost finished with  Naked Empire.   The series is still very enjoyable of course.  The funny part for me is my 11 year old son whose test results have him reading at the 11th grade level is reading the same series as me.   This weeks reading was mor limited doue to the fact of traveling and doing interviews with personnel to update my organizations training products.  Most of my time this weekend I spent reading my own notes and typing up my reports.
