Mon 1930-2230 TUE 2000-2130 WED 2030-2100 THU FRI 1800-1900 SAT 2030-2300 SUN 1600-1800 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 blog is a compilation of my reading and thoughts for Content Area Literacy EDUC604PA201.

Week #8 Mon 2000-2200 TUE 1200-1300 WED 0800-1130 1300-1530 THU 0800-1130 1300-1530 FRI 2000-2300 SAT 1200-1300 1900-2300 SUN 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.

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.
