    RM>> Just recently I found at the Library 2 of his last books that I hadn't   
    RM>> read   
    RM>> before. It's unfortunate those will be the last of them..    RIP   
    JD>     
    JD> I loved his books back when I was a teenager, mostly because they were   
   long enough that I had some time to really read. I had the problem back then   
   of not having enough library cards to get enough books to last me for the   
   week, as I could only visit the library once a week.   
    JD> I also hated his books because I struggled so much to find them in the   
   right sequence or at all, and sometimes had to wait months for a copy to   
   arrive via inter-library loan. By the time the book arrived, I had lost track   
   of all the myriad of things that had happened in the previous book.    
    JD> I probably need to reread them now    
    JD> This is also why I primarily only read the inline serialised stories...   
   because they're online (and free) and the sites I use keep bookmarks for me of   
   where I am on the stories. I've probably got over sixty currently running   
   serials that I'm reading so it means at least 10 or more are updating every   
   day so I have a constant stream of new chapters to read.  Some of the stories   
   I'm busy with dwarf the size of the Goodkind books which is also kinda amazing.   
    JD> BTW, welcome to LitRPG Rob. Food to have you here    
    JD> All the best   
    JD> John   
      
   Geez. Excuse the finger trouble. It's not "food to have you here" but good ;-)
