"I tried this once before when I was a lot younger, but the project was just too big for me. But it was a terrific idea and it never entirely left my mind... and every now and then it would say write me, and eventually I did. I sure hope people like it," said King.

Subject: Additional Book List

Hrqls: Could you remove the books from 1-50 on that list as I don't even have most of the books anymore. So many things changed, yet the list stays the same. Guess it needs to be updated or completely deleted. Thanks!!

Subject: Re:

ajtgirl: no - they are really good - i cant say there isnt romance - but its not sappy - the point of the books is a philosophical look at the rules of magic and the application of these rules as an art form - each book is based on a rule... and the main characters discovering of its artistic application - i highly recommend...

Have you read any of these and do you recommend them?
If one were to start the series where should one begin?
I have occasionally started series from the final installment and read backward
By accident mainly, but it still works
