Morning All,
A fellow teacher lent me a copy of Magician in 1984. I was smitten! Rays words have become the one constantly comforting thing in my life. The Empire Trilogy is read at least once a year. I am often asked how I can read the same book more than once. I tell people it is like talking to an old friend . I know what they are going to say but I love them all the more for it. Rays books have helped me through the loss of my younger brother, divorce, depression, cancer and saddest of all an empty nest. I have passed the love of all things Feisty to my son and as I now work in a library I am infecting every likely looking borrower with the Feist Virus. Unless Ray objects I plan on being cremated with a copy of Magician in my hand. (Now that does upset the Library Staff!!!!!)

I remember picking Magician: Apprentice at the local bookshop back in 95 or so. I had just finished some other series (can't remember which at the moment, might be I'd just finished the last published Jordan book or some such), and was browsing the shelves for something new to read. For some reason the book caught my eye, I bought it and havent regretted it even a second! //Simon 2011/10/21 Tim Hickey <[email protected]> I've been a member of the list for a while, but I haven't posted... I was wondering how everyone found Magician when you read it the first time. I went to Marist High School in Chicago and my freshman literature teacher, Mrs. Littleton had us read both, Apprentice and Master, for class... I have been in love with the story ever since. It is now 17 years later and it is the only series of books (really the only books) that I read... I always read the newest book in 1-2 days (which causes some rough mornings the next day). -- Simon Rönnberg Fridensborgsvägen 50 170 69 Solna Mobil: +46 (0)70 6531747 Hem: +46 (0)8 7103333
