Now, read it all again, backwards.

No! I'm _not_ saying begin at the back of the book and read right to left.

Start with LAMA and go through the books in reverse order. Did this inadvertently a few months ago [had to go through LAMA looking for something or other, then immediately did the same with MT&T. said 'what the heck!' and kept on going in the same direction] It's fun just how much of the set-up comes out of the woodwork when the consequences are fresh in your mind.

I started at the beginning of the series with OAR and have been completely rereading everything again. Seems that every time I go through the books I pick up on some nuance that I previously missed. Of course it's usually buried in one of the "slower" sections that I tend to skim through normally. I'm also taking the time to cross-reference everything against the larger online maps - which I didn't discover and download until I was going through my very first read of LAMA. Rereading everything should get me fully up-to-speed on all the "details" when HFQ is finally released.


And I'm not above pulling your chain... I would hope that you have figured that out enough to chuckle by now...

I'm also doing a reread... I'm up to AMF.

You are a better man than I... I can get confused just reading forwards... :o
